I still run Win98 on a newish AMD pc, (about 18 -24 months old), because with the help of 98Lite, I don't find any need to keep updating it... unlike WinXP! I can multi-boot as many copies of Win98, any position on my hard drive... with no problems.
With Ghost I can restore a fully working copy of Win98, plus programs, in well under 5 minutes... from start to finish. Win98 is extemely hackable for personalisation. I can run a top-notch Dos based anti-virus, which can catch a virus before Windows actually boots and gets infected.
The only reason I'm running WinXp at all, on a multiboot system, is just to familarise myself with it and because my partner likes Spider card game!
Why run 98?
in Windows 9x/ME
