Windows 98 SE

I am running Windows 98 but have seen a download from Micosoft for Windows 98 Second Edition. Would it be any advantage to download or is it possible that I may run into problems?
Cheers

You cannot download windows 98SE, unless it is an illegal copy.

Obviously, you can still buy it. Second Edition (SE) fixes a lot of problems they had with First Edition (FE). If you are going to stay with Windows 98 then I would upgrade to SE. Downloading a pirated copy could cause you problems. May not - I would not recommend it. Windows 98SE is still out relatively cheap.

I thought that the Microsoft site stated that you could download SE from there.
