Is Gold worth $39?

I ordered Gold today since Shrapnel was kind enough to send me a 15% off coupon for X-Mas. So if I don't get XP what should I get? I'm going to throw ME as far as a can and I have to replace it with something. Thanks.

SgtBigG, that 15% off was nice of them! My suggestion in WinSE or Win 2000. Both are much better IMHO than XP! yuck!

My only recommendations on MS OSes:

Don't touch 95 (too old, not enough support) or ME (Take Win98. Now break most everything that works right)

My choice is Win 98SE. Less bloatware = fast/efficient/less annoying. Personally, I like my operating system to do as little as necessary to run _my_ programs with as little interference as possible.

My second choice is Win 2000 Professional (not Server). More bloat than 98SE, but doesn't require a reboot when something crashes. One of its best improvements, IMO, is it has a slightly better Version of Notepad...

BTW, did you know that the SE3 demo works perfectly fine on Win3.1?
