I disagree with this post. Win98 is a cheap, insecure, unstable, unreliable, piece of junk, even more so than other, later Microsoft products (Sorry to offend your OS Rosebud). It has more holes than GWB's brain. With the amount of vulnerabillities discovered in that OS, all a hacker needs to know is your IP address to get inside your computer (And there is nothing you can do to stop them, Microsoft does not support this OS and they stopped making patches 2 years ago).
Other reasons why you should steer way clear of this OS are:
1. Pathetic memory handling - what you opened and closed stays in memory (Open and close 20 medium size applications and welcome the Blue Screen of Death)
2. Pathetic ustilization of CPU
3. No built in drivers (Yup, you'll have to download them all)
4. No security (Heck, you can even cancel out of the password to get inside of OS)
5. Bad utilisation of HD (Mine made a bad sector cheese grader out of my old HD 5 years ago)
I should probably stop.
Sorry, the mention of this OS just drives me mad, I needed to vent
