Windows 98SE is Evil

My comp just crashed, had to go and format it. Lost practically all of my modeling programs, so I have the fun job of redownloading them. Now, off to find the motherboard driver CD.....

98 is better than all save 2000 Pro.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

I don't think I've heard of an OS yet that didn't have some issues. I mean if it crashed so hard you have to reformat,.. it was something more than 98 crashing on you bud. Like if you have any "unoffical" demos shall we say,.. good chance you got tagged with a virus. Could really be anything.

Pfff, 98 is nothing compared to ME. Me just decides to take a walk every now and then. I was forced to reformat about...3 times. Every time ME surprised me with some dumbass bug which made my comp unusuable. And that was before I got internet...

Damn I guess I'm lucky then :) All the dodgey things I've had on this computer ...and only once did i have to reformat,.. and that was because the Harddrive itself locked up (the mechanical type lockup).

Same here. Hell, I haven't even had a crash that requires start-up with XP.

yes. WinME has no DOS. only the command-prompt

Wrong. Start the comp with CD support and you've got the whole thing.

uh, he is talking about ME there. :p

ME works okay for me, with only the occassional (once a week) crashes and good speed otherwise. The main problem I have with it is what was already mentioned, the lack of a true DOS mode. What's even worse is that it will not read the config.sys file properly and just automatically deletes anything in there whenever it starts up, so I cannot use emm386 and such things in windows either. :(
