I use Win '98 on my MAME machine right now - but I use AdvanceMame with AdvanceMenu (which runs in dos) as my front end since I've got an arcade cab and I want the most accurate picture (that still looks good). I guess I could use one of the TV out hacks to see windows on my cabinet but then the games wouldn't look as good (I'm guessing, if I'm wrong - someone please correct me). So it's important to me to have good dos support which is why I'm not running win2k on that box (although I think I'm going to try xp so I can put more ram in).
Just my two cents, but so far if you have an arcade cab it seems like dos is the way to go for accurate looks.
