Windows 98
Second Edition is an update to Windows 98 that enhances the leading consumer operating system with the latest Internet, home-networking and hardware technologies. If you're thinking about upgrading from Windows 95, or adding Windows
98 on to a multi-OS platform, you'll get a comfortable, fairly
intuitive graphical user interface, with point-and-click simplicity. Windows 98 has all the features of Windows 95, but some have been
retooled, renamed, and spruced up. Perhaps the nicest improvement about
Windows 98, though, is its use of a better file allocation system,
enabling much more efficient use of hard drive space. Windows 98
supports the most widely used software programs, peripherals, and
hardware.
The Microsoft Windows 98 Second (2nd) operating system makes your
computer work better and play better. It works better by making it
simple to access the Internet and by providing better system
performance along with easier system diagnostics and maintenance. With
Windows 98, your system plays better as well with support for the
graphics, sound, and multimedia technologies, the ability to easily add
and remove peripheral devices with support for Universal Serial Bus
(USB), and it also enables you to watch TV on your PC.
Windows 98 Second Edition offers consumers a variety of new and enhanced capabilities related to the Internet, and hardware compatibility:
Internet Explorer 5.
Microsoft’s popular browsing technologies provide breakthroughs in Web performance, usability and flexibility.
