lol I never installed any of the patches and after reading this I don't plan to. But I ould say that 98 is the best Windows for me right now becuase I happen to be programming in debug for fun
.
Now if I wasn't using debug I'd say XP, because its blue and looks cool, or 2000. I just heard bad things about ME.
And for the stablility of macs... I never really believed it as the first time i used one it crashed...
