No Windows 98 version? I am so tired of Microsoft forcing us to buy a new product every few years. Why don't they just be honest and put an expiry date on the OS when you buy it?

win98 .. who the hell still uses that? it cant even support 200GB HDD and 512MB RAM... win98 is 7 years old for hell sake.... we are in the time of 256bit video cards, WIFI LAN, 64bit CPUs and 1GB RAM as standard... and u dare stay with win98? and go to this gamers website that has games featured with pixel shaders and uncontrollable AIs.... hmmmm u might as well ask for the VESA DOS drivers and try to play Half Life 2 in 256 colors....

FFS, shut up. At some points Win98 is alot better then 2000/XP. Microsoft should get all games to work on 2000/XP, like they promised they would.

Halo is shit, once you play it on the X-Box, there is nothing new to see in the PC Version.

I didn't play it on the X-Box, so it is new to me :p
