Win98 SE was the best OS Microsoft made.
- lproven 3y agoIn the trade, we used to call it "GameOS". I deployed it and attempted to support the wretched thing, and I always thought it was one of the worst ever. It had the deeply stupid and crappy "Active Desktop", turning the good solid Win95/NT 4 Explorer into a slow and unstable POS that rendered via IE4 so that MS wouldn't get sued or split up by the Department of Justice for illegal restraint of trade in bundling IE with Windows. A disastrous UI and its broken design contaminates every later release. Underneath there were good changes: >4 IP addresses, multihead graphics and things. But bundling IE meant it was broken junk, and that was unforgiveable.
