XP uses the more efficient NTFS file system over the FAT32 of 98.The defrag is also improved as are networking and memory usage.It's along way from perfect but much better than 98.When you try to create an operating system that even a neophyte can jump in and use,you're going to have problems.

The biggest difference is that XP doesn't constantly regress to the "blue screen of death" the way 98 does. With XP, you have a better chance of using your computer without wearing out the "reset" button.

First, they are from the different Windows branches. With "Windows for workgroup", Microsoft started new Windows family: WinNT. XP is from this family. Win9x is the base Windows branch and win98 is the last member of this family. No more supported.

Stability.
Actually Windows XP uses a lot more resources...but i have NEVER had it blue screen, ever.
But now i use linux, it is way more efficient..not to mention i don't like the Windows XP activation thing...makes you feel like a criminal as a customer.

The first obvious thing is that XP has new visual themes governing the appearance of windows. :D That's why the call it "Windows"! also, there are new features, eg, the Program Compatibility features, and more streamlined Start menus.
