98SE was a decent O/S _at the time_ (the last version of Windows that I used).
It has been almost 10 years, however, and too little has improved (blame
monopolies for seeing no progress). I remember what Linux looked like 8 years
ago and /boy/ has there been progress. Windows was left behing quite a few
years ago, as a _desktop_ platform. The same goes for Mac OS. OS 9 was roughly
on par with Windows XP, but OS 9 was prettier.
