What up with this?

[Dels]

yeah explorer.exe is only shell, and you can change the shell with other alternate shell like litestep,aston,talisman,geoshell,sharp-e,serenade,etc.

but for windows it self, it's not a shell or advance dos wrapper or dos extender, it's a solid operating system (some people might be said 1/2 descent, but this true win9x is a solid os). and if it isn't, what should os must have to be a "real os"? just for example, take a look linux, bash is only shell and what does KDE or GNOME? it's shell too.

and if i had mistaken, please tell me what the first "real" os available on earth?

Link21 was being negative again by saying that Windows 9x is just a DOS extender!

Like it's Windows 3.1 or something.

Windows 98 SE probably was one of the best operating systems based on Windows 95!

You're both right, techinally Win95/98 is just a really fancy program that runs on top of DOS. But it is a great OS if you install the USB support and uSP1. The XP vs 98SE chatter is mindless, it's been posted a hundred times on here.

I prefer a well tuned XP box but if my hardware was weaker, I'd be satisfied with 98SE /w uSP2.

Of course keep in mind guys that eventually as new hardware comes out, you won't have compatible drivers that will work in 98.
