The march of progress I guess...considering these (especially Win98SE)
are generally more stable than XP anything (especially SP2).
And the best part of it? The best OS Microsoft ever turned out is
still MS-DOS.

I disagree totally. Win98SE was the worst ever. XP SP2 is excellent.

Opinions differ.

I have used every version of Windows and can assure you that every 98
variant was far less stable than any CP variant.

MSDOS was a toy operating system.
You must be in a different reality
or smoking some really potent stuff.

I thought they were a nightmare. Just the resource handle limitation on
its own was painful.
Not to mention the system-debilitating crashes. Never had that in 2000
or XP.

Not in my experience. 9x/ME were the worst I have ever dealt with. In
contrast, XP has probably been the most stable for me.

YMMV, I guess. I have system-debilitating crashes all the time with
XP.

XP.
And lest I mention, the XP crashes are always more costly than
anything I have encountered in ME or 98. An XP crash always means lost
data.

If you need help configuring it, we're only to willing to help. Try this
simple checklist:
1) Make sure you have a hard disk, floppies don't cut it any more.
2) You need at least 256 Meg of RAM
3) You need at least a Pentium II. Your 386 is possibly a bit past it.
The good news is, it now runs on a Macintosh. So maybe you can try again if
that 's what you've been using.

Sounds like you might have flakey hardware...

A crash in XP means you have bad hardware or bad drivers.

Make sure you install the Service Packs, they are needed.
Turn off Themes, use the Windows Classic setting.
But even so, I find W2000 is better (W2003 Server is probably even
better, but I don't have it).

I had a grand total of 2 (two) crashes using Windows XP in the last 4 years or
so. Both of them were faulty hardware related (a videocard and a HDD faliure).
You seem to be the follower of the unfortunately popular philosophy of "if
anything bad happens, lets blame the OS (provided it is Windows)". Aren't
you by any chance a Linux fan?

Then it is highly probable that something is seriously wrong with your
hardware or drivers.
