Windows 98
A fairly okay OS that seems to crash a lot more often when used by geeks and Linux zealots, especially those who claim that Windoze is soooooo easy to use. Well if it is easy to run, then you shouldn't have a problem running it in the first place.
Or could it be true that geeks truly are less intelligent than they claim they are after all?

A clean install does not mean just loading the fricking OS onto the computer. Any Windoze-using idiot knows that Windows 98 reboots a bunch of times before the system becomes operational, and requires the CD THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE installation process.

I hate to tell you "asshats" this, but Windows 98 is actually a 16 and 32-bit hybrid system. It's basically Windows 95 with IE integrated into explorer.
It crashes alot, because it's an operating system designed to run 32-bit applications, but still runs on a 16-bit subsystem, namely DOS.
Alot of instabilities, however, aren't the cause of 'Doze itself, and are usually IRQ conflicts and/or lame, fagass applications (read: AOL) being installed by the user.

Ted: What a cockup this Windows 98 is.
Bill: You try doing something better with reused code, assclown.

The word you look up in the dictionary when you're either out of perverted words to laugh at or you press 'random word' a lot (Like I did).

What a rip. This thing won't go up like my other window does.. kids and their new fads.

Windows 98
A clusterfuck, or shit show. As describing someone stumbling along in a presentation or explanation. Refers to the Windows 98 operating system crashing during its initial demonstration.

Doug, I'm not going to just sit here while you Windows 98 your way through the presentation.

Windows 98
Pretty much the ideal 32-16 bit operating system for high end DOS gaming PCs (80486DX-33 up to Pentium III). A great thing about this OS it that it's compatible both with late 90's complex programs for Windows and is still compatible with older MS-DOS programs. This is the last good OS built from DOS (ME was the absolute last but had major stability problems and other issues). It's high performance and large compatibility makes it a great Gaming OS for systems in the late 90's.

I installed Windows 98 on my Pentium 133 with 32 MB of RAM with a Sound Blaster 32, S3 Virge with ISA and PCI.

The only way that you could make this OS run for any period of time is by not running it. Or just run the whole thing from its 16-bit (but really 2-bit) command line, DOS.

My dog could write better operating systems than Windows 98 by urinating on a keyboard.

Windows 98
Quite an unstable operating system. Crashes basically every time you run it, even after a clean installation, especially when you're busy using Microsoft Word or such programs. Frequently presents a blue screen of death for no reason whatsoever.

"Windows 98 crashed again."
