We’ve figured out a better way to store data on a hard drive. It’s called FAT32 and we’ve built it into Microsoft® Windows®98. So if you put Windows 98 on the computer you’re using now, not only will you discover an average of 28%^* more space on your hard drive, but suddenly

you’re a big geek,

using all kinds of fancy-dancy file allocation technology. Of course, if you get Windows 98 on a new computer, you’ll miss out on the whole epiphany and all this improvement will just seem normal to you.

Works better. Plays better.

^*Results based on a test of 200 users’ hard drives. This test calculated the space to be gained by converting from FAT16 to FAT32. To convert to FAT32 you need a 512MB or larger hard-drive partition. Actual experience will vary depending on hard-drive partition size and number of files on your system. Hard-drive partitions in excess of 1GB and/or a large number of files yield best results.
