Yes thats right, the OS that could support all kinds of hardware, that couldn't run everything, that died a horrible death, is the better product.

Win9X was good because it worked. it might not have worked great, but it worked. OS/2 did not. For the reason that YOU stated here...

didn't have many software and drivers written for it which is why it was incompatible with almost everything

Why do I know this to be true? How many drivers did the original Linux have? Before it started to take off?

Windows XP or Win2k3 are about equal to me depending on use, while both are above win2k like a step in a good direction is better then the step you left behind

I use all 3 on a daily basis, XP for games/developement, win2k3 is my test server, win2k is my laptop.

OS/2 is unquestionably a superior operating system then Win9x, at least as far as sophistication, technology, and coding quality goes.

Win9x became popular because it was Windows, Windows (pre-95) was popular and cheap and commonly used everywere were you had PCs. Windows was popular because it was a graphical shell on MS-DOS. Ms-DOS was popular because it was commonly used by businesses and people used what they had at work home so that they could run the same applications. Ms-DOS was popular because it ran on x86 machines. Businesses started using Ms-DOS on x86 hardware because it was cheaper then anything else.

Remember the principal reason behind Microsoft's early success was simply the fact that they produced the cheapest software on the cheapest avaible hardware you could possibly find anywere that was still usefull for business. That's realy the major reason. After that it was Microsoft leveraging it's desktop presence to keep other software makers off their feet. They were better businessmen.

As far as W2k vs WinXP vs W2k3.

Windows XP for the desktop. Windows 2003 for server. Windows 2000 if that is what you already have installed on your computer. That's pretty much my opinion on that.

I think that it's pretty simple realy. XP makes a crappy server operating system, it's only usefull for very small stuff. XP has media addition, plus it has SP2 security enhancements for the desktop.

Windows 2k3 doesn't have a lot of that, but it does have IIS 6 stuff which is heads and sholders above what is aviable on XP. I wouldn't want to use it as a desktop system though.

Just face the facts that almost all opertaing systems released since 1994 kicked the pants out of the load of turd that Win95/98/ME was and still are.

damn you are a whingy ass cry baby...and for you...the sig stays

OS/2 WARP rocked!! It was only because of marketing failures that it didn't have many software and drivers written for it which is why it was incompatible with almost everything. But for the very few applications and software written for it, OS/2 WARP would have slapped that toddler Win98SE OS aorund the field any day.

Anyone who thinks that Windows 9X beat OS/2 WARP because they were better technology has NO IDEA what they were talking about!! The far superior technology in OS/2 WARP lost because of IBM's marketing failures and Microsoft's predatory practices that forced the far inferior POS Win9X to beat out the far superior OS/2 WARP OS.

Link... its just a hunch, but i think if YOU started supporting windows 98 fanatically, and liking it, then everyone would switch sides and hate it again. Just a random guess..........................................................................

LMAO

What caused OS/2's marketing failures? You keep spouting off about this, but you have provided NO proof.

Microsoft's predatory practices and IBM did a lousy job trying to market OS/2 WARP. They didn't push it hard enough because they were too afraid of some things.

dude give it up. if people want to use win9x let them. stop bashing them because they want to use os that you don't approve of.

If OS/2 is soooo great where are the drivers so I can run it on my modern PC's?

I still can and do run Win98SE on one of my P4 PC's....it has full driver support, even for the SATA2 drives that the PC is equiped with.

Just face it Link19 OS/2 was a dinosaur and thankfully it went the way of the dinosaur before it could do any real harm.

Only because of marketing failures on IBM's part.

Piece of sh*t Windows 98 has no support for NForce 4 motherboards nor GeForce 7XXX video cards. There are native Linux drivers for those hardware. Hah ha ha. See, Windows 9X is a POS OS, that is why there are no Windows 9X support for those great modern robust hardware I just listed.

wrong again dickhead, the NF4 drivers and GF drivers can be modded in to working with Win98SE, I have even had my Gigabyte NF3 board for which there is no offical driver support in win98 working with it...it just takes a bit of tweaking thats all.

how do you think I got my 2 SATA2 drives and the Silicon Image SATARAID controller working...it has no offical Win98SE drivers

but with OS/2 there isn't even a basic driver to start with...you would have to start form scratch to write one and well that isn't even worth the effort.

You dickhead are wrong as well. I never said NForce 3 didn't have support for piece of sh*t Windows 98/ME. NForce 3 chipset did in fact have Windows 9X drivers.

What I said which is totally correct is the NForce 4 chipset did NOT and never had Windows 98/ME drivers. I also said the GeForce 7XXX series video cards doesn't have any compatible drivers for that turd Windows 98/ME OS.

I stand totally correct on those statements.

read the first line FUCKWIT....you're a complete and utter waste of time....you can't even read anything properly...no wonder you couldn't get good ole Win98 working.

So let me get this right, because YOU say it can't work, it means that it doesn't work at all?

How fvcked up are you?....oh wait you couldn't even get Win98 to work...that was one of the most basic and easiest OS'es EVER to setup and use...40 million people(according to Microsoft) managed to get it working flawlessly(Including myself).

I affraid that I'm going to have to stand by the below statement

YOU SIR FAIL AT LIFE

it needs to read like this.

Link19 isn't even a real man. He is a pseudo man on top of a native Girly-man architecture.

Wow. You guys need to drop the whole Win9x thing.

How about PM'ng each other insults or something? Don't you have better things to do?

Seriously. Looks like OS needs some more moderation.

Link19 and his instigators (notably Stumps) need some time off. There's enough of this crap in other areas of the AT Forums. We don't need it in OS.

Do you want a cookie as a reward, or a balloon? Maybe show us how to load himem.sys in Config.Sys next?

I'm curious how you reset the print spooler or change an IP address wint Win98 without rebooting it.

The only advantage Win98 had over NT4 (NT4 was release sooner) was Win98 had better game performance, and you could run crappy DOS software on it that required direct access to COM ports and junk like that. In a nutshell, there's the mentality of the people who still like it.
