Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted October 29, 2004 I love win 98 its the most stable and user friendly windows version ever made by Microsoft. its never hangs, never craches. i used all OS approx. win NT, 98, 2000, XP, 2003, Linux. but i liked win 98 SE most. so my vote goes to win98.

RSumit 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 No doubts about this :: WinXP is more stable than WIN98. When using WIN98 the blue screen used to come up so freqntly that i gave pref to Linux. But once I started using WnXP prof I've forgotten about all other OSes. It gives u stability combined with style, user friendliness, aesthetics, features. So if ur PC supports WinXP( I think most guys' comp does) give it a try. You'll soon find ur self saying '' I'm lovin it '' (McDonald style) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deepu 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) Sorry for the error... its actually a P4 1.5 Ghz...I got lucky at that time coz RAM price was very cheap (just Rs. 800 for 128 MB). So I got 512 MB in the machine. Even now the machine is really fast and I do not even feel like upgrading. I have tried Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Linux. Now I have dual boot with Windows 98 and Windows XP. Unfortunately some of old softwares which I really need do not work in Windows XP. So I need Windows 98 also.
