Until very recently there was only the original Windows 98 for IBM (or anyone else) to ship. Microsoft seems to update the CD version only about once a year! Now there is a Win 98 Second Edition, but that one is *very* new. In Windows 98 you can download any upgrades available from MS' website by just selecting Start, Windows Update :-) >P.S I have an IBM aptiva 530.
