In all the time I used 98 and 98se, the only time I had issues were when I installed new 3rd party software like Norton Systemworks, Zone Alarm and so on. It ran well, but it did leak the system resources.

It had some HDD limitations and ram limitations that were not a problem back when it was first release, but have become a problem due to the nature that hard has improved so much.

98 had limited driver support at first, USB was even an addon that you had to update to be able to use USB devices.

I still use it daily at work and seldom have problems. It runs well, is great on older hardware, and does what it needs to do. Not to say I would use it at home... I won't.



I am sure this will effect some people, but for the majority, the support will be had in forums like techzonez.
