Also, technically XP was Windows NT 5.1, so it was built on a solid basis.

Whereas 98 was still in the kinda DOS-based 9x line.

And I fully agree with you to not mention Windows Me.

Windows Me was some weird marketing attempt at squeezing more life out of the dead-end '9x line. I honestly don't know who, in their sane mind, would ever pay for such a thing.
