Windows 98? Are you kidding me? It wasn't even decent until SE came out.
All of the non-NT Windows before 2000 sucked. Windows 2000 is based off of NT, which is why it was pretty good.
Don't mix up 2000 and ME. 2000 was a good build, ME was Microsoft's worst mistake.
kitamesume:
windows98 was decent at the years around 1998 to 2000, once win2000 game out win98's users got split in two. so yes win98 was decent on it's year bracket.
i forgot about win2000 because xp came out too fast.
edit: the time win2000 came out i didnt have the necessary budget to buy one, but by the time winxp came out i had replaced my pentium2 for a pentium4 =O so, pfft win2000 you out of luck.

Microsoft just updated their Terms of Use Agreement.
If you use a Microsoft product, effective 27 August 2012:
- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/microsoft-services-agreement
You agree to waive your litigation rights:
10.3. Binding arbitration
10.4. Class action waiver
Still working my way through it and googling up references & interpretations. Not pretty.

Meh.. Win 8 looks bad! Why the hell is Microsoft downgrading their OS from a desktop oriented one to a tablet oriented one ffs. I definitely won't be using this. Then again, the last Windows I used was XP, which I still feel was the best thing that came out of Microsoft's stable. Windows 7 would be ok imo, but I would rather my games and apps used my Graphics card instead of my OS[But it was atleast less of a humongous blunder that Vista was.]
I still don't get all the fuss they made about being more security enhanced in Win 7 though. Never got anything in XP and I never paid for anything either. A combination of Avira and Comodo[both freeware] mostly did the trick for me.
That being said however, I'm just wondering what to go with when I get a new Desktop. Linux would be my obvious choice, but I hate the lag that Wine/VirtualBox produces while playing games for me.
