Both warn that software developments may make DOS programs unusable later. ME is already causing me problems with getting to a DOS prompt. I had no problem with Windows 95--and still don't on my laptop. But of course the difficulty is in other programs one might want to/have to run such as virus-protection stuff, isn't it? And in email delivery programs.
The computer repair guy I use tells me that Windows 98 is the best compromise in this situation because it has fewer bugs than ME. It's also less likely to be a target of new viruses than XP.
