I have 2 OSes I can run ATM: Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millenium. Which should I use?

98 can be stable.
ME will be crashing much more often. Wasn't it dubbed the "Toy version" of windows?I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site). -
I've had 98 since...well, '98, on a PIII 450.
Crashes are extremely rare, and I've never had to reinstall.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

WinMe is much more stable than Win98SE
...during the time I had WinMe, I only saw the blue screen about 50% of the times I saw it in Win98SE
...and it's much faster...
As long as WinME exists, there's no reason at all to install 98SE...This space is empty... or is it?Comment

I could write a long post, but suffice it to say that I would write the complete opposite of the post immediately above this one.

They both fit in the category "Toy Windows". I doubt even Asher would say anything else. 98SE has overall a better reputation, though.Originally posted by Skanky Burns

If you really honestly have to use a Windows 9x series OS, use 98SE. Not that I'd have used either that or ME a lot, but of all of the Windows ME boxes I remember having used extensively (for more than a couple of hours) in my life, 100% have been damned unstable and broken. Granted, there's only been one, but still, 98SE is generally considered to be much, much better than ME. Generally enough that I would definitely choose 98SE.This is Shireroth, and Giant Squid will brutally murder me if I ever remove this link from my signature | In the end it won't be love that saves us, it will be mathematics | So many people have this concept of God the Avenger.

98se.
when i first got my new computer for college, it came preinstalled with me.
i turned it on... first thing, after i get through all that "new install" bull****...
blue screen.
then it didn't boot.
so i just said **** this and installed a beta of xp.
me is like 98, only they took a chainsaw and cut off the dos part. but since chainsaws aren't particularly accurate, they also took out a lot of what made 98 more stable than me.B♭3Comment

I've been using Win ME and no problems.
Why would you back up to 98 ?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
