Win 98? Are you serious?
I know we all have our own preferences but I would say Win 95 was good, but Win 98 was a step back. Win XP was a big improvement and probably the most stable of all of MS Windows OS'es. I know some businesses are still using Win XP all these years later, but scary from a security standpoint. My favorite now is Win 10 and I believe it is nearly as good as XP, though I believe XP was a bit more stable. I started on Commodore computers and then did a little VAX work. I grudgingly got onto Windows PC's with DOS and Win 3.1. It was hard for me at first, but I have learned to become platform independent. It took me sometime to make that mental shift, but technology changes all the time and it is best to not be married to one OS, one PC or even one technology per se. Even applies to woodworking, e.g. I was a SS devotee for a long time, but I now I have expanded to Festool as well. I have tried most of the OS'es out there for personal and work use. So, I love Unix/Linux and Win 10, but I even tolerate Mac OS though I don't like it.
