That just might be the most stable version of Win98 ever! /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif

Laidback, trippy beats that make you roll your spliff backwards. Ahhh yeah!

MMkay... check the other options besides win9x...

Linux: Great OS. Very stable, becoming well-supported. Also fragmented distributions and takes a year to learn properly.

FreeBSD: Same as Linux but with more standard distributions and less support.

NT 4 or 5 (win2k): Stable, supports many games, but has probs with dx7. Some games incompatible. Typical ease-of-use of windows. Not as customizable as Linux but much more supported.

BeOS: The best OS in the world that nobody seems to know about. Way ahead of its time. Only problem is software and hardware support. Uses 64-bit file system, extremely good use of multimedia (say, 100x better than windows), excellent interface and easy to use. More stable than Unix, boots faster than Linux, costs 1/100th of solaris. Too bad it's so new. www.be.com

MacOS 1-9: Take win9x crashes and multiply by 2.5. Take win9x startup time and multiply by 1.6. Take win9x games and apps and divide by 100, or linux and divide by 10. Add an interface built simple enough for an idiot. Now you have MacOS.

MacOSX: Take BSD and bloat heavilly, but also ease of use. Take "new" features like pre-emp and smp. Add flashy colors and whoopie-do buttons. Add marginally better opengl support. Currently vaporware, but not for long. More features to come...

Check out Be in action. Do something crazy like load 50 instances of a movie on a PII 300 with 64mb of ram and play at the same time. Notice how smoothly it goes.

As much as I hate windows and all it's instability, there's still nothing that is as supported, or as easy. I'd like to see linux take off, but i don't really see it crushing the desktop till everything that's made for windows will run on Linux.
And, Mayday, if you think SE doesn't ever crash without user help, then you aren't running anything that's not Office.
