What's with...

...all the posts for Windows 98?  Is 98 rearing it's ugly head again from the dust of time?

There have been quite a few lately...
Still the most prevelant ver. of Windows Worldwide  if you can fathom that.

Hard to imagine    I still run it in a M$ VM but only for reference.  I hate getting old

My first response when I see an issue related to Windows 98 is "Upgrade!"  That's obviously not a helpful comment.

You just cant change some peoples minds. I know someone that was (until recently) running Windows 3.11 for workgroups! (need a free upgrade? )

ick.  3.11?

Makes the 98 users look like Einstein.

There's nothing essentially wrong with using older operating systems.
In my list of favourite to hated, Win2K and 98SE both feature highly.

Have you tried running 3.11 or 95 on a newer machine? They're faster than you can imagine.

[Calum]

Exactly my point.
I don't have either of those, but 98SE on a modern computer flies like a bird, with a fair amount of features too.

No I haven't, and I can only hope that your wink means that you haven't tried it either.

All i know is with Win2K on a dual core setup with 2G of RAM it's the first time i've seen an OS that can't keep up with the hardware in my lifetime...

Kinda refreshing !

I haven't checked, but I imagine finding RAID drivers for 3.11 is not an easy task.

[michaewlewis]

Nope, I haven't. One of the contractor's I deal with at work said he tried it and was amazed at how fast windows 95 was.

I use 98SE,  and you can easily change my mind.   Just pm me your credit card number.

And that, I think, is probably why so many are using 98.    (By the way, I'm glad for this thread,  because I was thinking it was just me that felt that there are a quite a few 98 posts lately)

I think it is just sheer $$.      There are lots of people out here that most certainly would like to go buy new hardware and the accompaning software, but don't have the money to spend on it.   Thus,  we have to keep the old stuff going as best we can.

It is not to relovent,unless you do gaming.

Stay away from illegal downloads and porn
sites and most OS's are fine.
