Question

Is Windows 98 any better than Windows 95?

Answer

On June 25, 1998, Microsoft released Windows 98, which was widely regarded as a minor revision of Windows 95. It included new hardware drivers and better support for the FAT32 file system which allowed support for disk partitions larger than the 2 GB maximum accepted by Windows 95. The USB support in Windows 98 was far superior to the token, sketchy support provided by the OEM editions of Windows 95. It also controversially integrated the Internet Explorer browser into the Windows GUI and Windows Explorer file manager, prompting the opening of the United States v. Microsoft case, dealing with the question whether Microsoft was abusing its hold on the PC operating system market to push its products in other areas.
