To keep it simple,

Win95: Install via the boot flopies and CDROM
Win97: Doesn't exist
Win98: Install via the boot floppies and CDROM
Win2K: Install via booting from the CDROM
WInXP: Install via booting from the CDROM

Fieatures and upgrades are different in every version and it would take too long to list them all here. You will want to refer to the Microsoft web site to reference any differences.

By far, Windows is the most secure and simplified OS yet, with XP being the most feature-rich OS yet. Windows 95 and 98 are becoming extinct quickly since Windows XP is taking its place. All are usable on a network, but Windows 2000 and XP Professional are the choice for networks, and 95 and 98 are meant for home use. There is a Homeversion of XP though.

Although this isn't exactly the best description of rhte differences, I hope this is useful to the fact that it shows some uses for them...
