Hi,

If your thinking about getting a new PC, you need to be aware of the
"wonderfl" new policy from MS

Windows Me
Microsoft has a replacement for Windows 98, called Windows Millennium
also called "Windows Me". See Windows Me for more details

1-May-2000 Missing Windows CD
Microsoft has changed the OEM policies for including Windows 98 on a new
computer. In most cases, to get the OEM pricing, computer manufacturers
are not allowed to provide a Windows CD-ROM as has been done in the past.
This means if your hard disk is corrupted, you have to buy a new full
copy of Windows! Some manufacturers do include a recovery CD-ROM, with
some, but not all of Windows files found on a normal Windows install CD.
Often these "recovery" CD's will erase everything and start over with an
image of the system as it was first shipped. [InfoWorld Pg 101
