Win98 was a turd. Even SE crashed a lot. No memory protection. No daemons to mount zillions of remote drives or USB devices with GVFS/Kio.

Guess why NT based OSes used far more memory.

>Firefox - SJW_crap = better,smaller,faster,securer. But SJW_crap became their primary objective so we're doomed...

IE+Active X+OLE+Windows 98 = malware haven. Firefox supports audio/video securely, and even WebGL support. And WASM. Yes, you could do that with Flash and a Pentium III with Street View, but your computer was an ad-ridden malware epidemic party.

You've chosen to miss the point, and you're also comparing sand to ice.

win98lite, was windows install modification for win98 to remove some stuff so you could play computer games more while you weren't defragging your hard drive.

Wakey wakey.

I know w98lite. My first Windows OS was W98SE. And, guess, what? Often tuning some registry keys gave me more performance than blindly using W98lite.

Good for you.
