Consider the following scenario. Read operations or write operations are performed on a floppy disk that is running on an early Microsoft operating system. Examples of early Microsoft operating systems include the following:

• Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
• Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
• Microsoft Windows 98
• Microsoft Windows 95
• Microsoft Windows 3.1
• MS-DOS

These operations may be performed slightly faster on one of these early Microsoft operating systems than on a newer Microsoft operating system. Examples of newer Microsoft operating systems include the following:

• Windows Vista
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Microsoft Windows 2000
• Microsoft Windows NT

This behavior occurs if you use a floppy disk controller (FDC) that is 100-percent compatible with the original floppy disk controller. In a worst-case scenario, the difference in performance speed may be as much as 16 seconds.

Consider the following scenario. On a Windows Vista-based computer, you try to move a read-only file or a read-only folder from a shared folder. This shared folder is located on a Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)-based computer. In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Destination Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action

After you click Retry or Cancel, you press F5 to update the screen. Then, you find that the file or the folder has been copied instead of moved.

In Windows Vista, you try to delete a subfolder of a shared folder on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). However, you cannot remove the subfolder, and you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Destination Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action

This problem occurs even if the shared folder is configured for Full Access permissions. Additionally, this problem occurs whether you configure a password, or you do not configure a password.
