Windows 95 vs. Windows 98

[Gurm]

Nehalmistry:

It is buggier than regular Win98, because it has been hacked and ripped and tweaked and whatnot. However, I have HEARD it is not noticeably buggy enough to be concerned about.

Note that I say HEARD... number one, no Win9x OS will ever curse my hard drive again. Number two, when I tried Win98 Lite it was utter buggy shit (admittedly last fall...)

Andrei:

No argument with the big boys about buggy operations on 98 Lite, I have simply had none myself. But I'd say any program that rips into the registry and deletes all kinds of stuff (you wouldn't BELIEVE how much trash is planted in there) would be risky at best when running it over the top of an already trashed up system, which begins of course, the moment you start installing programs into the OS.

My experience has been absolutely trouble free with this proggy, I suspect because of the "clean install" option.

GURM: My W98 takes up 70 mb and is stable as a ROCK! Hell, I can't even crash Netscape. The only BSOD's I've seen in the last year happened when installing Matrox drivers and trying to coax 3d out of my old SS7 board. The old 95 explorer is CLEARLY faster as a file navigator. In fact, no one but me even knows I'm running 98 since the desktop and file navigator are exactly the same as my old 95. Busmastering, USB, and the Driver base are FAR superior in 98 than 95.

In my experience, most of the stability problems everyone complains about in '98 are MS's own fault.

Latest RC2 works well on even w98 systems that has been "Trash" registry hacked!

The only problem with using an older version of explorer.exe is the problem with a bigger file sizes.
ex:
If i capture 12 1.99 GB avi files and try to mark and move them att the same time explorer freaks out.
