IMHO I think its a bad idea, I don't like XP at all but am being forced into it, just like I was forced into the other Microsoft distros. Main reason is that 98 is no longer supported by MS, next is no body is developing anything with 98 as its core OS, next is security and the abilities for customization that Win2k and XP have. My main reason for not liking XP is that right out of the box it assumes you are an idiot unable to comprehend using a computer, and after just a short time I get real tired having to contact a non-existant Systems Administrator.

Just my 2cents
