Windows 9x doesn't even work on most modern hardware any more, due to
lack of widespread driver support.
That's been my experience too. I've been developing software for nearly
20 years. For at least 12 years I had a multi-partition setup with 4
different flavours of Windows and 2 x different Linux distros. But about
2 years ago I had to drop Windows NT and Windows 98 after my
motherboard blew up and I needed to buy a new one.

Its bad enough having to use windows, but having to upgrade to XP or VISTA

Windows 9x doesn't even work on most modern hardware any more, due to
