I was just the opposite . . . I have always been a supporter of MS.  I
downloaded IE5 and installed and had nothing but problems.  Everything else
I had sung the praises of Win98.  I uninstalled IE5 to go back to IE4 and it
trashed my Win98 installation.  It wouldn't even boot into safe mode.  Did
an overinstall of Win98 and it worked a couple of reboots and said it found
an error in the registry.  It reloaded the old registry and I was back where
I had started.  Had to do the dreaded format c: and do a fresh install.
(  First bad experience with Win98.
