Don't know about this mythical "lose98" or "microsnot", but Windows 95 and
98, according to Microsoft, did indeed have a related problem; after 49.7
days of continued operation, the machine would hang.  Note that fixes are
available for the affected platforms, so it's not really an issue here.

I note, with some amusement, the implications of this.  "Microsoft has a
bug!  It's bad" - the implication being that some comparable system - eg
Linux - has *no* bugs.  I'd be very surprised indeed to discover that Linux,
it all its glory, contains not one, single bug anywhere.  Or perhaps the
author is suggesting that Linux, unlike Windows, magically fixes bugs
without the need to ever install patches or updates?  Again, I'd be very
surprised.

Yes, Windows 95 and 98 - and even 2K - out of the box have bugs.  Last I
heard, so does Linux.  And BeOS, and MacOS, and...

So what's your point?

Not quite; what I'm saying is, it was really intended as a single-user
desktop system, where crashes were at best annoying, not fatal... so it was
designed more for ease-of-use than stability.  In those environments, is it
stable enough?  Yes.  In more critical environments, such as an office, is
it stable enough?  Possibly not - but then, why are you running it in that
environment anyway?

Again, depends on the use.  We have a Win9x box we run a server off... but
the server's only purpose in life is to host a webcam.  The box is also used
for games, minor web maintenance, e-mail, and other light-duty stuff.

We also have a Win2K box.  Guess which box we run the heavy server off, the
server that actually makes us some money?  Guess which box we use to
maintain >1Gb of web content?

Again, let me reiterate; if you're doing typical _home_ use things -
maintaining your 10 page web site, writing letters, doing home accounting,
etc - then the occasional crash isn't a big deal; at most it's annoying,
you're not losing any data likely to cause you financial hardship.  If
you're working on sensitive data, anything that will cause you such
hardship, then you're using the wrong tool for the job.

Absolutely; if nothing else, as a games platform.

Crash!

Yeah, I've run across a couple of sites like that.

Note a couple of thngs here, though...

1) The discussion was about Windows 98.
2) Now you're discussing IE and NT.
3) The main issue with Windows 98 was stability.
4) NT didn't crash when IE went down.

Ahh, notice anything?  I do.  NT didn't crash.  This tells me she was using
the _right_ tool for the job.  She's in an office environment, so she's
running NT, where IE crashing doesn't also bring down her other apps and
documents.  Again, right in line with what I was saying.

Do, please, keep up with such stories - they just help prove my point.

I first dealt with overheating CPU's in 1980.  Apple ][+ was
notorious for overheating the 6502 after several hours of continous use.

We found that taking the top off helped things somewhat.

In an ideal world, nothing short of CPU failure should bring down the
system.  Microsoft does offer platforms which prevent applications bringing
down the OS; if that's a criteria for your decision to use an OS, why are
you using one of the OSen which _doesn't_ offer that?

Absolutely.  As an easy-to-use, friendly home-user platform.  Compare NT4
and 98; which one plays most games?  It ain't NT; it was intended for use in
environments where stability, not playtime, was the key feature.  98 went
the other way.  Picking 98 and then complaining it lacks the stability one
needs is silly; if you needed the stability, why didn't you pick NT?

The usual answer is one of two: 1) It doesn't play the games or 2) It costs
more.  Both of these show that stability was _not_ the feature sought after;
in one case it was entertainment value, in the other, it was purchase cost.
Fine, those are reasonable bases for making decisions... but if you use them
and decide not to get the more stable platform, don't whine about it not
being stable; you had the choice, you chose not to go that way.

Depends.  In general, if Windows dies - which can happen; I had a
server keel over and die last night, actually... thanks to a faulty
drive.  Arrgh! - you probably will have to reinstall your apps.  One
of the nice things about MSI, Microsoft's new installer technology, is
that it makes the process ridiculously easy and quick - especially for
clients - and more so when managed by a 2K network.

Example: I drop a bomb on a client PC.  Oops.  Drop a new client PC
in, with Win2K Pro (or even Win98+2K client tools) installed - which I
can do from a drive image in a matter of a few minutes.  Log onto the
server and voila!  There's your desktop, just the way you left it.
With your applications ready to use.

In some cases (depending on the application and how it was configured)
on initially running the application there may be a short delay while
things that must run locally are copied over, but usually this is only
a minute or two, and only happens once for a given application.

All told, the process of removing the old machine, dropping in a new
machine and getting the user back to work should be readily
accomplised in under an hour, if you've spent a little time up front
setting things up properly.  For that matter, you can reduce that,
too; if you've done the frontwork, your user can move to another
workstation, log on, and get back to work - using their own settings
and suchlike - in a matter of minutes, leaving you to finish the
machine replacement.

In a home-user environment, it's not quite that simple.  Then again,
in a home-user environment, it's also not usually that critical.

Very true.

All programmers should learn Pascal...and then, once they have learned
the discipline needed to write in Pascal, NEVER promptly ditch Pascal,
but not the discipline.

Explain why they impose Leftist speech codes on our campuses.
Explain why speakers who doesn't toe the party-line of political
correctness are hounded off of campuses, and yet when a left-wing
speaker experiences ANY sort of criticism, the critics are hounded
off the campus.

A:  The wise man is mocked by fools.

B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.

C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
   sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
   that she doesn't like.
 
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.

E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
   ...despite (D) above.

F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
   response until their behavior improves.

G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
   adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.

H:  Knackos...you're a retard.
