        I myself have used and installed win95 (and A with the update), win95B
(haven't installed win95C), win98 and win98SE. Of all of them, Win98 and SE
was the easiest to install, however win95B was the least resource hungry and
stable. If you run sysmon you can see the memory allocation, usually on a
clean boot win95B is around 60MB (sometimes less), win98 is often above
100MB. This is mostly due to the integration of IE, AFAIK. To each his own I
suppose, but I still recommend win95B to anybody who doesn't care about USB.
If you want USB win98 is your only choice (win95C does have USB support, but
it never worked well). As you said, each of us experiences differing
behaviour with respect to Windows, the previous has been mine.
