My vote most definitely is for the latter. My computer's been running well lately, so I figured I might as well abuse it by installing this POS on it (truthfully, I am trying to recreate the problems our users have been experiencing, so I can test the fixes I've run across).
Good God, what was Micro$oft thinking? Stable? Not a chance. I had 3 BSOD's and 4 hard reboots during installation alone. On the first full boot, I got another 2 BSOD's and had to hard reboot again. It finally booted into Winblows, and BSOD'ed as soon as I tried to check out the display properties. I reset the computer once again, and the same thing happened. FYI, this is the retail upgrade for Win98. I had a clean install of Win98 SE (only programs that were installed were installed with 98).
WTF?!? I've been dealing with some fscked up problems caused by this OS lately (routing issues; I work tech support for an ISP), but I never expected it to be this pathetic. Has anyone actually had it work for them without causing any major problems?
The one good thing I can say is that finally M$ produced an OS that won't write to the MBR and cause headaches with my Win2k installation.
