I have windows 98 and I was wondering if they will come out with a version for 98?
August 25, 2005 at 2:09 am #128426DavidParticipantI have not read anything about it, and I wouldn’t expect them to. The libraries that GT uses look like they are NT-only, or at least Windows 2000+ only (Still NT). Have you considered the fact that the OS you are using is seven years old, and several versions behind?

He wasn’t “bashing” anybody, and I agree with him. Windows 98(SE) is no longer…useful. It is unsupported by Microsoft, it has a lot of bugs (second to Windows ME), and very few good programs nowadays run on the 98 platform. If I were you, ice-cajun I’d suggest going and buying Windows XP Home. -
