Windows98 is such a piece of crap with so many memory leaks.
A fun way to crash a win98 machine 100% of the time is by setting an infinite loop through debug.exe
a 100
cli
jmp 101
g
The second line makes the CPU stop listening to any commands from any other process, such as windows, and "jmp 101" loops it... so it hangs.
On some Win98 machines if you put this under START-->RUN
"c:\con\con" and hit enter, it would crash.
Lovely, isn't it?

Can you think of any other ways to crash Windows? Letting it run for five minutes idle doesn't count. =)

Hmmm ...
I'm still running Win98 on my laptop. I should really format the thing and put RedHat or some other linux distro on there. It does good w/ linux (no compatibility/hardware problems of any sort - which is pretty good for a y2k vaio)

I wouldn't put Linux on something portable like that (maybe if you're going to have a dual bootup). Wherever you go, most likely you'll see Windows being used and you'll want a Windows machine in which you can easily interact with.
