I was a 98 user then skipped ME and went to XP for my home desktop. We had ME on the machines at college and thats what we found all the issues on it. But your right 98 did suffer with these things. We just found that ME was producing the errors on a more regular basis. In the end we reverted the test machines back to 98 then to 2000 when it became available.

What about POS for the Amiga?. Was that even a real OS?.


pOS is very real. It even works on Pegasos ;)

Probably not the least successful, but Id have to nominate Zeta for biggest flop. It was getting quite a bit of attention prior to launch, and appeared to be an attempt to "re-launch" BeOS, but fizzled out very quickly after release.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Would Norton Desktop be considered a shall or OS? I think it's more likely a shell but I will submit it on here to see what people think.
