I think everything runs a little faster.  I rarely encounter errors.  The
best thing that I've discovered so far is that the FAT32 conversion works
flawlessly, and quick.  My C: drive went from 207 MB available to 583 MB.
The D: drive went from 200 MB to 298.  No complaints here except that I
think that beta users of Windows 98 should get a discount toward the
purchase of the full package when available.  $37 is a little steep just to
TRY something out.
