WinXP (home edition) offers separate accounts so that every user
can have his or her own environment. It offers no security, since
most home users are not interested in security.
WinXP (Professional) gives you everything that WinXP home does,
plus security - if you care to convert your disk to NTFS.
To run Win98 on such a machine, you have to use a third-party
boot manager. Some of them are free. You would then probably
have the following disk structure:
- Partition 1: Boot manager
- Partition 2: WinXP Prof. (NTFS)
- Partition 3: Win98 (FAT32)
- Partition 4: Data (FAT32)
Keep sensitive data on partition 2 where you can protect it.
Note, however, that an enterprising and inquisitive 15-year
old can punch through NTFS restrictions with little difficulty,
if he/she has physical access to the machine.
