Computer world is moving fast & with speed I agree frequent users or computer buffs feel they must get all whatever they want from computer to be done in a jiffy .Thus with more & more expectations from computer the software which was thought to be ultimate sometime back gives a feeling of redundance with time.So far so good for users of computers who spend greater part of time they are awake & work with the machine.
But there are plenty of common/layman users who do not understand idioms of computer but spends only a small worthwhile time of the day in either sending/receiving e-mails or chat through the mode of communication which is cheapest or surf through internet & thromsn search engine or other search engines & can get an entry to enviable world of knowledge which would have remained a dream if one had to find out the same from books often impossible to locate/search I feel Window 98 is a very big boon & satisfies the thirst of mass.A product should be judged by its appeal to the mass & not class.
