I've been around AmigaDOS, the microsloth OS's, a few Unixes and Linux.
Mainly I use w98se because of one game (Grand Prix Legends - 1967 racing simulator). But that's not the only thing I have installed on my w98 box. I use my computer at home about 30 to 50 hours a week depending on weather :P (both outside and internet). I always go through at least 4 reinstalls. (same goes for 95).
Anyway, without rambling on, how much a w98 system crashes on you depends on how much you use it and how hard you're on it. I can lock up a system simple being just too fast for it. Launching 4 applications at the same time, on a box with 64megs is just bad. To me it seems as the OS gets confused which memory goes where :/
And there are the BSODs of NT. Very useful :P No reasons of faults, just a bunch of hex numbers.
NT is for hackers I tell ya! :)

Dave.
