W,

Having used all the various versions of Windows since it was invented, I say 
he should upgrade because Win XP is far, far superior to Win98. It may need 
more memory (depending on what he has already), but it doesn't usually need 
new peripherals, and suffers less from bugs, viruses, etc, because a lot of 
attention has been given to solving them, and rarely ever crashes (unlike 
Win98). Win98 is 3 or 4 generations out-of-date 
(Win98-Win98SE-(WinME)-WinNT-Win2000-WinXP). The improvements in XP are 
countless, but of importance to printing, I could name USB2 and Firewire 
support, Wireless support, excellent networking, and superior multitasking.

Mac OS's, Windows OS's, and Linux OS's are all "real" operating systems. 
What sort of virtual world do you live in?

I don't mean to go OT here, but if Win98 works for him, and works well
otherwise, then why should he upgrade.  A newer version of Windows, with
higher memory requirements, and that requires newer peripherals, but
that has the same bugs, virus and spy-ware issues, not worth the money
spent.  Now if Adobe would release a Linux/FreeBSD version of Photoshop,
then you could upgrade to a real operating system, then you would be
talking.
