I want to upgrade to XP from 98, but am hesitant. I have a lot of educational
software for my childern to use and have been told by numerous people that
they may not work on XP. The bulk of the software is window based not dos.

As far as the software, I'm not sure, but I think that if it's designed for
compatibility with windows, it should work. But, again, I'm not sure.
However, you can contact the vendor to find out what to do to make it
usable.
