while in general to avoid any misunderstandings I'll say it's understood SE was an obvious "progress" vs. FE
imho I still maintain it didn't strike me as such as far as dos gaming went
currently it's much better to use Dosbox or ScummVM when feasible (read: Lucasarts stuff and some more)
otherwise I still have virtualpc/vmware installations of dos 6.22/win3.11/win95 [95a] and win98 [FE of course]
to strictly answer your question, well it's been 11 years now, but even if unable to recollect a single feature as I realize you'd like to know, I tell you I remember having (or I should say, deciding) to reformat (sic!) in spring (?) 1999 just to revert to Win98FE from a SE "upgrade" for no other reason than I found it suited me best with all my dos games
and I don't think I'd have gone through all that for nothing 😜
sorry, though, for being unable to pinpoint a single flaw in it
I do remember being somewhat pissed off by it like when I noticed that WinME had "hidden" the beloved dos 7.10 (or was it 8.0?) from view...
