Is Windows 98 SE that much better than original Windows?

Question

I had a situation. I took my computer in for some work and mistakenly took in the first Windows disc although Windows SE was installed on my computer and I also have that disc. In the process of fixing my problem they managed to install original Windows. I also seem to have 18 gigs of hard drive space gone now. I can get my hands on an upgrade to SE, my question is it worth the trouble for basic internet usage, and would a clean re-install of SE then restore my hard drive space to where it was before they installed the wrong disc? Thanks everyone.

Hi Windows 98 SE is better in some ways to Widows ME, a newer OS. I would do the clean install if it were me. Good luck!
