Windows 98 is basically a slightly rewritten version of Win95(b), with IE4
and active desktop fitted as standard.
It includes updated dial up networking.
Converter from fat16 to fat32 for hard drives.
Improved defrag utility which puts an applications files in a strip to
improve loading times.
Improved memory management for machines with over 64mb ram (95a dies not
allocate memory properly after 32mb) this is why Microsoft stay is the
optimum amount of memory for a 95 machine.
Faster shutting down.
Common driver model which will enable a device to use the same driver for
Win98 it uses for Nt5.
The jump from Win95 to Win98 is not as significant as that from 3.11 to 95,
it is an evolutionary update to the O.S
Win98 is however the last version there will be, after this there will be
three flavors of WinNT, Consumer, Workstation, Server.
