Good points all. I guess the bottom lines is what APPLICATIONS does Sylvain want to use? If they all run under Win98SE and Win2000 perhaps the best thing for Sylvain to do is to try both and then pick the one he likes best.
One project I haven't done yet but will do someday is to load Win2K on a spare 12 GIG hard drive that I have and see how it runs. That way I can keep my W98SE 40 gig drive intact and swap back if I want to.
I didn't consider WinNT (or Linux for that matter) as Sylvain asked about Win98 vs. Win2K. I'm not sure if there are FireWire 1394 drivers available for WinNT either.

Hi!
Win9x and ME are toys! They are only DOS with some nice grapics...., unstable and unusable as a tool.
Yes, a Lib 100 is a bit weak for Win2000, but mine runs fine with WinNT!
Every driver, power management, hot swap of cards etc. is available and
works. Rocksolid and without a reboot for months! Disks >8GB are usable
without fumbling around with tricky drivers, all you need is a gap at the
right place while partitioning. The only exception is USB, as far as I know
there is no USB with WinNT possible.
