Windows XP is much more secure than Windows 98. In fact, any NT-based
Windows version is more secure than any Windows 9x version. Windows 9x
versions have no built-in measures for segregating users' data from
each other, nor do they have any real means of keeping [an unwanted]
someone out of the machine altogether. If you do have a "login" screen
in Windows 9x, you can just hit Cancel to go into the default user
environment. I like XP because I have my system entirely locked down.
My personal files are encrype, and you *must* log in to use anything,
even in Safe Mode.

Was it worth over $150? Probably not. Do I stand by it? Definitely.
