 Agree with others that Win98 is Less Stable than Win95 February 11, 2001
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you have Win95 don't upgrade to Win98 - It is less stable and many of the programs for Win95 just plain do not work. Maybe WinME is better but it is still based on DOS - Microsoft is always announcing that their next version is going to be better -Well, we're are still waiting.

I tried to install the 98 upgrade second edition. My windows 95 system would not accept it reading "must have a 98 system." I need to get the complete 98 system, I guess.. Help! Help!Anybody

Windoze98 upgrade from 95 made my computer much worse. I needed the 98 version because 95 has poor USB support. My experience is that many applications run a magnitude slower under 98. There are also frequent freeze-ups of the system, sometimes I can't power down the system through Windoze (I have to unplug it), and sometimes the system refuses to recognize peripherals (depending on what software was being ran). If you don't need USB support, my advice is to stay with Windows95. There are far less bugs.
 Good for home use but not for businesses. November 25, 2000

This Version of Windows 98 certainly gives me headaches when I hibernate with my computer. That is because sometimes it never comes back to it's original state. My computer always crashes, plus I get a lot of error messages. It's high speed, and has a lot of good features including some bug fixes. In other words, this is just for home use and not for business.
 Windows 95 bug patch November 16, 2000

Yum... yet another OS from Microsoft that is buggy, unreliable, and causes your system to crash randomly. I can't believe that I actually paid Microsoft for this product - they should be paying me if they want to do their beta testing on customers.Well, horrible architecture aside, the good things about Windows 98 is that it now has USB support, so not all of your dollars went to waste. Oh, and it includes another version of Internet Explorer - a very good product, by the way. Aside from that, if you have to use Windows to play your games, you were warned. I opted out, too frustrated from having to reboot constantly and now vow not to use another OS by this company ever again.
