I was occasionally using linux since redhat 5.2 (1998), so I know there were options but surely apple and microsoft had more resources to develop operating system and still their mainstream offering weren't on-par in the 90s? I was using win98 in the early 00s at work (when xp was brand new/just released) and would hear mp3s while working in Origin[0] and Matlab and it would make the mp3 stutter/stop and sometimes even crash windows.
