No cost?  Must be nice!!

I have XP on the laptop and '98 on the desktop.  From my experience, 
which may nor may be anybody else's, XP seems more stable and less 
crash-prone than '98, and I plan to upgrade the desktop to XP when 
finances permit.  I run MS Office 2000 on both platforms with no 
problem.  As far as what XP gives you, I think it depends a lot of what 
you use your computers for.  XP has more multimedia stuff built in, but 
that may not matter to you.  If you were paying for the XP, I'd say that 
unless you had a compelling need to upgrade and everything is working 
fine, stay with what you have.  Don't fix it if it ain't broke!  But, 
since you can do the upgrade for free, what have you got to lose?  Just 
make sure you take a full backup beforehand so that if you decide you 
don't like XP, you can restore back.
