Greetings all! New user here. I'm trying to wrap my head around what it takes to get win9x usable these days (among other things). I have been to mdgx site and some others, and I have to admit I'm at a loss. What should a person do after installing? Say I've done a full install of OEM. I've seen different autopatcher versions, different service packs, wupg, 98se2me, usb drivers, stuff about cpu and ram limits, sdks, ddks, KernelEX, and I own a copy of 98 lite. Specialized applications aside (like browsers, music players, etc,) which things should a person install to get the "system" up to its fullest most complete potential? And in which order, does it matter?
I used 98se for over a year after it EOL'd, and while I've learned a lot about unix since then, it has been an almost unceasing battle ;). I'd also like to know can VC++2005 EE still be found, and will it run? I intend to build a machine in time, but at the moment I'm trying to research and plan on vbox, and it has been working well. I've read about some of the member projects, and I'm quite impressed, both that some are still loyal, and at the caliber of utliites you are making, so your words are appreciated.
