Yeah I found that on there awhile back. It blows my mind that MS managed to further their monopoly with those operating systems. They are just horrible software riddled with issues. All in the name of backwards compatibility of course, which is what has given MS so much power and kills companies that neglect it.
Back then though really it was an okay OS because we didn't multitask that much and apps were so simple and lightweight. 9x didn't have to be a server either. There were much more capable OSs around for real multitasking and for real heavy duty apps. 9x worked ok as a OS for consumers. Keep it away from me now though other than for retro gaming. I can't believe some folks want to rework 9x and try to use it today as their primary OS.
