Windows 98 20th Anniversary

One of best OS-es ever

As someone who actually used this in 1999 on my home PC, fuck that OS and whoever made it. I hope they're all dead now. Enjoy reinstalling that shit once a month and having random blue screens. Pure trash. It made me become a Macfag up until 2008 when I switched to Loonix. And to this day, Windows is still garbage.

I got the windows95 upgrade cd, then I got cable internet and pirated everything including 98

HAHA I GOT YOUR KEY NOW

Stand-alone Win98 VM for easy desktop use when?

I just want Dosbox but as Win98. I want to fucking play Shadow Company again.

I remember playing Age Of Empires and RollerCoaster Tycoon on that. I was just a kid back then so I didn't know how horrible it was but shit, that was comfy.
Some old spectrometers at uni still work on 98/XP. Just the right amount of nostalgia.

I found my one of those whilst cleaning just yesterday strangely, along with the accompanying CD and floppy. Got it with a prebuilt from Time Computers that my dad bought me.

Oh. I installed W98SE because a specific game at weekend. In virtualbox btw. Thanks for the info, i was 13 as it released.

Pajeets. Now i understand everything.

I remember Windows 98 being my first shitty OS.

My first PC had Windows 98 SE, I was a child, I broke it playing with system files.

Some technician "fixed it" but the guy installed first edition and it was the most buggy thing I've ever had.

Thankfully we updated to SE later again.

Wow that getting started book is huge.

I regularly use Win98se along with posting to Jow Forums with it.
Have it on 3 boxes currently
P3 Slot 1 733Mhz
P3 Socket 370 1.26Ghz
C2D Socket 754 2.4Ghz (Yes, the motherboard for this actually factually supports Win98 though Win10, its awesome)

>Upgrade version
Worthless. Who give a shit?

Joke's on you, it doesn't use online activation.

I never had the chance of trying this retro OS, but I would love to, it looks so comfy and friendly...

Microsoft should sell an ISO image on GOG, I'm sure it would sell well.

It's not that hard to set up a regular VM, really. But if I knew a good place to upload it I could just toss you my fresh 98 SE install for virtualbox.

bruh just download virtualbox and a windows 98 iso.

Give it a massive 5GB of hard drive space and it will probably install in 10 minutes.

Totally this.
Blue screens of nowhere all the time.

nofile.io my good friend

when i was in my cs, we all used windows 98 se and learn to code dynamically delivered web page...so much nostalgia

Happy Birthday.

It's honestly surprising how much they've improved in animation and sound quality.

I mean, it's a whole series of them just shitting out episodes on the fly with little care about technical quality.
