WIN98 SE is only a service pack, with added CAB files and proprietary drivers. It serves ONE purpose, Microsofts ugly lust for more and more money. Since anything you add to your computer comes with newer drivers, and the attempts to patch WIN98 B have only injected more bugs into third party software it's a waste of money and time. Also NT will not support any added hardware but is safe from invasion, so 2000 was created for more versatility with that security. Home users do not want 2000, its security features are detrimental. I needed to correct the mis-info of some other posts.
