You must have never tried its immediate successor, Windows Millenium.
I had a very stable 98se install and had encountered others. I've never seen a stable Windows ME machine.
I have Windows me on my cousins computer. I found Windows me to be more stable than Windows 98se but still not as stable as Windows XP. At least I could go online with Windows me and not have it freeze in 10 minutes. Once I would go online using Windows 98se in no more than 10 minutes it would freeze, if lucky I could unfreeze it using Ctrl Alt Del. If successful after unfreezing in no more than 10 minutes after I would get the Blue Screen Of Death. I don't know what alternate dimension that you are and AVLinux in but it seems to defy reality.
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

... Windows98se was my best Windows experience and Windows version too ... it's that why I like using IceWM now.

I had a OK experience w/ Windows 98SE. My old beige box had mostly audio software installed and did not use the Internet that much. A bunch of us refurbished donated computers to give to students that could not afford a computer when 98SE was the rage. A few techs tried to get Linux installed but the group wanted to go Windows (sigh).

I just could not get ME to match the consistency I was getting from 98. I did like the ME DOS tools that supported the (then) larger drives.

I wonder what old vulns are still in today's Windows that can be gleaned from this leak..

I still have a working 98se and it seems very stable.
It is much more frugal with RAM than any recent Linux distro that I know of.

Obviously. Have you compared it with a linux release from 1998?

No, I lost my SuSe6.2 some time ago due to a PSU failure which fried its hdd.
I expect it would have been more RAM-frugal.
