The one who called Windows 98 an operating system (Bill Gates?) should be punished with using it the rest of his life. This weekend I had the "honor" to set up a PC using Windows 98 - no newer Windows will work on this PC.
A few examples for my annoyance:
- When copying files from a CD to the harddisk the system sets the file-properties as "write-protected". If you want to edit these files an error message appears.
- Copying an executable file like usual with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V makes a link to this file instead of copying the file.
- The blue screen "Das System ist ausgelastet" followed by a reboot, caused by the impotence of the task manager to kill blocking applications.
... the list could be continued nearly endlessly
Refering to Danis Weblog entry a comparison in german:
"Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Windows 98 und Hubert Gorbach?"
Keiner - beides sind voellig ueberschaetzte Auslaufmodelle, schaffen keine ordentlichen Ergebnisse und gehoeren eigentlich schon lange ausgemustert.
