Goodbye Windows 98

Microsoft cuts support for Windows 98 and Windows ME at the end of the month. Are we sorry to see it go?

Well, Windows ME I will happily say good bye and good riddance to. It was neither one thing nor the other, coming in between Windows 98 and before Windows 2000, and in my experience suffering the worst effects of both OS.

Windows 98, though, I have always liked when used in a standalone environment. As a stable, reliable, desktop operating system without network support, Windows 98 has always been stable for me. In fact, up until Windows XP, I used Windows 98 for the majority of my virtual machines as I could be sure of the stability.
