Guy tries using Windows 98 as his primary OS

[Guestx]

Dude buys an old Compaq laptop and decides to try using Windows 98 as his primary OS. This should be pretty nostalgic for anyone who was using computers during that era.

Wake me up when someone uses a C64 as their primary computer now.

I really liked Windows 98. It was a good OS. Some slight improvements over 95, and worlds better than NT, 2000 or ME.

Windows 98 was the first OS that I got a lot of experience with so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

And I have to tell you, I never have been much of a PC gamer, but Half-Life was one of the few games that I've played on the PC. I remember there was some spider creature that kept killing me and it pissed me off so bad that I just quit playing. In fact, other than some little casual games, I'm not sure that I've played another PC game since then.

Mmm, better than 2000? How so?

2000 was a lot more stable.

That's an emulator. I mean an actual C64. It used to literally take a half hour to load a program from cassette.

Skip to 2:20. That's an emulator?

There's an Amiga in Michigan that controls the heat/ac in a bunch of schools. Part of the computer system that controls our nukes still use 5.25 floppies.

I don't have sound now, but it looked like an emulator.

Okay, well skip to 6:18 and it shows the actual system he's using.

I know... I saw that on 60 minutes, but it is less hackable.

I dont know. Probably just a personal preference based on familiarity. I had very little hands on experience with 2000.

We had 95 then 98 on our home computers but my dad had NT at work and he fucking hated it.

Nice.

Generally the "tick-tock" of "amazing-shitty" holds up for Windows releases, but not for 98. I must admit I didn't think it was really like that at first.

Windows 95 was sort of mindblowing after 3.1
But Windows '98 was fantastic, too.
Windows 2000 was not my favorite.
Windows XP was fantastic.
Vista was a disaster.
Windows 7 was(is) incredible. GOAT.
Windows 8 did kind of suck out of the box. Windows 8.1 once you configured the Start Menu was a pretty solid OS.
Windows 10 is fantastic, and I understand why they basically have built backdoors into controlling your OS, especially with the updates, but I can't stand it. I hate that.
