So whatcha think? How'd I do? Did I complete my mission? And they say in the setup that Windows98 is stable and great and all that... :p

Btw, all those filesxx.jpg screenshots are of the ctrl+alt+del screen, showing all the background tasks running....yep...that's right...it took about 11 or so screenshots to record all the background tasks running...

In my experience Windows 98 is one of the most stable OSs I have used. Here you can see it running over 20 user applications:

Note the inclusion of the whole Office 97 suite. Even after this happened

http://www.rochfest.co.uk/oh_dear.jpg

the system was able to recover fairly quickly. I should also point out that this machine has been on Broadband for about 6 months with no firewall or virus scanner (and before that on dial-up with no protection for over a year). Conclusion: WINDOWS 98 RULES!

Hello, you're through to Steven on the BT Business technical help desk. Could I take your broadband telephone number please?

But my experience with Win98 has never been so good. It crashes regularly, any error that blue screen and then what else Ctrl+Alt+Del twice of course to restart the system, and about the files in which u were working, forget about it.

Hello,

The stability of Win 98 is comparable to some short-lived radioactive isotopes of Lawrencium.
