Assim:
I'll have to disagree with you there. I push my computer pretty hard (many installs/uninstalls), and I'm pretty clever with computers, yet I never managed to keep a Win95 partition alive for more than 6 months at a time. My Win98 partition has run for almost two years now without serious problems.
Still, I'll agree with anyone that Win98 is not stable *enough*. Win2K can hardly be considered the solution though, as it doesn't support nearly as much junk as Win98...Comment

I had an install of Win 95b that lasted 2+yrs.
My current Win 95c is 7 months old
BTW my original statement is partially based on this. http://www.98lite.net/98lite.html
Also a friend of mine who runs his own little buisness & has built many dozens (if not hundreds) of PC's has found that 95 is faster & more stable than 98.
My next install will be Win 98 though WITH the lite patch.The best of both worlds

I never really had much problems with win 95, except for crappy drivers for my devices. When I built my system for win98, I went all out and got premium stuff for everything. I found my system to much more stable and faster in win98. I had hardly any crashes at all, except for when they were my own fault. In win2k, it's even smoother than win98, and I don't get dreaded memory leaks. I leave my system up 24/7 and haven't had a single crash since it's initial install. I have applications crash on occasion, but it doesn't take down the whole OS while I am at it. The only time I reboot is when I install new beta drivers for my G400 (which is usually once a week, or week and a half). The longest I have had win2k up continuously for is 2 1/2 weeks. Again, only rebooted for a simple driver install.
Win2k handles multitasking with much more grace than win9x. I used to think that linux was the way to go for this, but win2k has really made me consider dumping linux as well.
One of the nicest things about win2k is when changing network settings, I don't need to reboot; One thing that I hated most about win9x.

what a bummer that the G400 is not supported in Win2K for dualhead, that's why I bought the card so I could run 2 monitors without 2 videocards...so now you say that Matrox does not have any fixes for dualhead in Win2K...the shame the shame....
WIn98se is the best it could do in dhead...the horror....Comment
