Anybody still using Windows 98?

98 was the best OS ever! It was so advanced back then and pathed the way for windows 2000 follow. Still have my 98 disk

 

win98 was not so advanced, it was really just what win95 was supposed to be. In typical microsoft fashion they took pieces from other os's and mixed them all up in a bag and called it windows. Win95/98 has so many similarities to os2 it is scary.... microsoft just did it 3 years later with half the performance and 100x the marketing.

 

There is something I just recently discovered after repartitioned my hard drive.

You must keep your partitions up to 40GB otherwise you will not be able to format them on FAT32 but NTFS and, of course, if you want great performance with a dual boot system (XP/WIN98SE) you need all your partitions being FAT32

FAT32 helps you to disallow the supposed security measures that come with XP, which are more likely a bunch of annoyances aimed to fill your HD with system junk, not really effective "protection" settings.

 

I had 98 until February. The old computer was too much of a space hog.

 

let me guess, played doom?

 

A little fact regarding BOB which might interest the domain traders on here. Microsoft held bob.com in their portfolio and swapped it for windows2000.com! A bloody great deal for the chap (called Bob) if you ask me!

As for Windows 98. One of my guys went to visit a factory where we have an old 98 machine used for internal email and recording batch number/details. It's a 800mhz machine and he was amazed at how fast it was and they've not yet asked me for an upgrade. When they do I'll know they've discovered youtube and there'll be an angry phone call from me

 

i was using it

 

I wrote somewhere about 1% is still using Windows 98. Personally I'm way more comfortable with WinXP.
Not to mention your new hardware might even not run on Win98

 

i my college some PC were stilling running on it and there performance is good..

 

windows xp is the best for me, then win2000.. Vista sucks!

 

Windows 98!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it might be used 4000 bc back :d

 

Yes Win98se is an AWESOME OS

 

Yes, it was at his time

 

Most of us coincide, Vista sucks.

As for XP it is more likely the preferred OS for those with limited skills to take full control of their own computers due to countless limitations to keep ordinary users under control.

No offense, I use XP too when I need to stop being power WIN98SE user to maintain compatibility with XP users features

 

I have windows 98 on one of my older computers but I haven't used it in years.

 

Win98se ON A GOOD SYSTEM is the best friend you'll ever have

 

lol Dude

 

My GOD - I am getting old... I even remember windows 95! I've still got it on one of my PCs - fully customised of course...

 

My first OS was 95,i didnt like it too much.. (Big difference between 95 and 98se )

 

lots of memory with my 98....damn...miz it!
