We recently purchased I-DEAS CAD software which requires WinNT to run. Being CAD operator, I'm the one who should change his OS. I'm get used to Win98 and don't want to migrate fully to NT. So, is it possible to run both Win98 and WinNT on the same (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
