Windows 98 came with support for USB built-in; Windows 95 needed an add-on released only for OEM versions.
Windows 98 supports FAT32 (and thus larger hard drives) out of the box; Windows 95, again, needed an add-on.
Windows 98 included DirectX 5.0; Windows 95 did not ship with any version of DirectX.
Windows 98 integrated internet Explorer into the desktop shell; Windows 95 did not by default.
Following are some of the Windows 98 features: * Universal Serial Bus (USB) support: USB ports allow for true Plug and Play on your computer. You can plug a device into the USB port (even while the computer is on), install the drivers for the device, and use the device, without a lengthy installation process or restarting. Common USB devices include removable media (e.g., Zip drives), digital cameras, and game controllers.
* Power management features: These configure your computer to turn your monitor and/or hard drive off after a period of inactivity, and allow you to create different schemes for use in different situations.
* FAT32: Windows 98 also introduces the FAT32 file system. FAT32 allows for more efficient use of your hard drive, so that less disk space is wasted. It also allows you to format and use a hard disk drive as big as 2TB (terabytes) without creating separate partitions on the hard drive. Previous versions of Windows allowed for only 2GB (gigabyte) partitions. Windows 98 Second Edition, or 98SE, was released in 1999 and improves tremendously on 98. Some of its unique features include: * DVD-ROM support:With a DVD drive, you can read data from a DVD and play movies on your PC. A DVD will hold much more data than a standard CD-ROM.
* Internet Connection Sharing: This allows two computers, both running 98SE, to share a single connection to the Internet.
* Improvements on Windows 98: These improvements include faster startup time for running applications, better USB support, and improved power management features. For more information about Windows 98, visit: http://support.microsoft.com/ph/1139
Windows 98 SE comes with upgraded versions of several components, such as Internet Explorer 5.0, DirectX 6.1, Microsoft Wallet 3.0, etc... It also adds a couple new features, such as Device Bay Controller, Asynchronous Transfer mode, DCOM98, Internet Connection Sharing, and Wake-On-LAN.
Windows 2000 greatly improved the stability of Windows because it's built on NT technology. NT technology is different because the whole operating system won't crash when a program crashes like Windows 98 will.
XP is based on Windows 2000. Win98 is nothing more than Win95 with a few enhancements.
Major differences include:
- XP supports UNICODE and NTFS; 98 does not.
- XP contains a better registry and runs faster. It provides greater stability for the system, you see less death screens, less freezing and you can end the program that causes you problems without having to kill the machine.
- XP can act as a network server.
- A large number of programs are now available only for XP/Vista machines and no longer supports older operating systems.
- XP contains a CD/DVD burning software, a Zipping software. So you don't need third-party software for that.
- System restore points saves you from losses of data.

What is the difference between windows 3.11 and and windows 98
I think the diffence is, that in fifa 12 special edition you get extra ultimate team points, and 3 gold packs every month.
There is no such thing as "performance edition."
The standard edition will be as it was shown in theaters or on television. Uncut edition or special editions will have scenes added. It should be noted that added scenes do not necessarily improve the film. There's usually a reason those scenes were not in the original release.
In the collecters edition you get the walkthrough for DLC also and it just looks kinda cool, hard cover and all
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties." Under "System, it will have a build number. SE will also say "Second Edition." If the build number is 4.10.1998, you have the first edition. If the build number is 4.10.2222, you have the second edition (SE).
The biggest differences to me are the amounts of ram and processors that 2003 standard and 2003 enterprise support. The link below will give you all the details of the differences. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758523(WS.10).aspx
