[WriteLog] Best/easiest Windows version for WL?

The most stable operating system is Win 2000 or XP.  Win 98 SE with all of
the updates from Microsoft is OK, but not as quite as stable as 2000/XP.

I worked several major contests over a weekend running 98 with no problems,
but I would occasionally get lockups with 98 if I leave my computer on for a
long time and open/close lots of programs.  If you do lockup, WL is great
about recovery.  You don't lose a thing.

Bottom Line:  Stick with 2000/XP and use Userport if you want to key CW
through the LPT port.
