I am having a new computer built shortly and I cannot decide which operating system to go for. I currently use Windows 98 and have been advised by several people to stick with it, as it is the most reliable. I am told that ME eats resources, XP is full of hackers' holes, and both are riddled with bugs! Also, my printer (which is almost new) only shows 98, 2000 & ME on the box, although I am told there would be drivers available to run it on XP.

My main reason for not wanting to continue with 98 (which I am happy with) is because my children and I want to use the interactive games available with ME & XP, although again I am told there is probably a way of doing that with 98.

Any opinions or suggestions?
