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!

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.
