If this were Hollywood, then Windows 98 would be the equivalent of ‘Heaven’s Gate’, ‘Waterworld’ and ‘Godzilla’ rolled into one. A huge, overhyped, bloated, embarrassment." That was I think when Windows 95 SP1 was released. 95 OSR2 was released later in 1996 as OEM-only and added features such as FAT32 support. And if you haven't seen me say it on IRC, I am using Vista on the Windows side of my dual-boot and am not upgrading to 7! In contrast, on the Ubuntu side of my dual-boot, I will be upgrading to 9.10 when it is released. “Windows 98 should have been released for free on Jan. 1, 1996 and titled Windows 95.1.
