 The big feature advertised at the time of SE's release was Internet Connection 
Sharing... if there's no need for that, and if not trying to use USB devices 
that insist on 98SE (or later), there's not much need to upgrade.

By the way, there was no simple upgrade path released-- it's not like just 
downloading a service pack for instance-- it requires getting a full Win98SE CD 
and re-installing Windows. That can be done in a way that 'respects' existing 
application intallations and Windows settings, but it's still a full Windows 
reinstall.
