I am wondering if the brave people who have upgraded to Win98 can tell me if the game contoller segment of directx is improved over the current version. i.e can you now calibrate more than 1 joystick at a time? does win98 remeber your calibration for each controller?

It has not changed. DirectX6 will upgrade Win95 and Win98 when it comes out.

You don't need to be brave, Win98 can be configured to very similar to Win95. I still don't see major bugs yet. Actually, it is quite stable. You may even wonder why you pay so much and get something that similar. Bernard Shum
No kidding...it is not an "upgrade" since you lose fax, the ability to do unattended backups and 99% of what you gain is available for free through the IE4 desktop update. Unless you have a very new mainboard with full USB support (and you actually need that, right?) or you are absolutely desperate to get FAT32 (and you don't already have it with Win95 OSR2), forget Win98. It does not boot faster, things don't run faster or better than under a properly set-up OSR2 with the IE4 desktop update installed. Marc.
