Why infamous, Angelic? Win98se was one of the best OSes I ever used, I dual booted it with win2000, and it rocked. That particular OS booted a computer in 4 secs, so it's no joke :)

Real computers are the ones that stand on the floor or desk, not something that fits into an A4 envelope :)) When they can fit smp and sli systems into that form factor, then we'll talk again, but until then, desktops ftw!
