Windows 98 versions:
Windows 98 is an advancement of Windows 95, is however compatible
with hardware (e.g. USB, AGP, IrDA) and programs have fewer problems, there of
House from more and newer program libraries to be provided.
Otherwise keep themselves the innovations are within limits, there most (visible)
from the integrated Internet Explorer 4 result, also under Windows 95 /NT the 4.0
these changes obtains. However, the Windows 98 can general be said more stably and more comfortably
as Windows 95 B/C is.

Some hardware innovations, like USB were available with Windows 95B/C already, but still
not matured. Here one notices a real difference to Windows 95. There Windows 95 B/C
only as oem versions in connection with a new PC were available, were Windows 98 that
first updates since the first Windows 95, which normal one could keep in the shop.
Information about the beta “Memphis” finds it on the Memphis side.
The installation of Windows 98/98SE has a new controlfriendlier surface
All innovations of Windows 98 in relation to Windows 95 (A) in the overview:

Central program is said like the integrated Internet Explorer 4. By it there is a large
Web integration in the entire Windows 98.
Windows 98 is equipped with the Internet Explorer 4,0, which brought most Neruerungen with itself.
At the most remarkable one it is activated if one the Active Desktop. Here one came as background one
arbitrary web page adjust and additional active objects add, which are freely adjustable then.
The whole became however a flop, there such Desktop a strong computer and usually still
an Internet connection required. 1998 not always naturally.
Additionally one could serve Windows into a “Web style”, instead of objects by doubleclicks too
starts, can one as the objects, as on a web page, by simple clicks implements.

Windows 98 offers at all places fast entrance to functions and programs. As example can
one take the starting menu. With the first Windows 95 it was inflexible and the only interaction
existed in the program start. One could put on new linkages only in the Explorer.
Differently Windows 98, to the one offers it the possibility the linkages freely to sort, to
one has others equal access drauf. One can delete or provide directly linkages.
Which was begun in Win95C, the context menu of the starting menu was perfected offers
full Explorerumfang, including “renaming” and “according to names sort”
It be based still on DOS, and is suitable excellently for playing (like Windows 98 SE), many plays
do not run or only reduced to NT/Win2000/XP systems.
However where light is, also shade is, Windows 98 is gladly inclined to “Bluescreens”, that
Exception errors or simple crashes. Even with the conception on the COMDEX in
March 98 fell it Bill Gates before met press!! With CNN.com it gives in addition
a video, it happened at that time with the installation of a USB of scanner.
Win 98 does not show that it nevertheless yet to be delivered is: It falls with a presentation on the Comdex 98
before met press & Bill Gates off.
After a usual sight so a crash was Scandisk with the restart.
Scandisk - the file system under DOS examines.
The Explorer resembles from Windows the 95C, and/or Windows 95 with installed Internet Explorer 4,0 and
activated extensions, which came relatively briefly before the appearance of Windows 98 on the OEM market.
By the Web integration there is an address border in the Explorer, here can one either by
Drop down menu the drive assemblies select, a file path enter or it as Webbrowser use,
by entering an Internet address.

Additionally to the Internet Explorer Windows still further Internet programs supplement, on the one hand
Outlook Express for dispatching enamels, Netmeeting for conferences of on-line and Frontpage
Express for providing small Web, and/or for Active Desktop sides.
Outlook Express is simple email a Client
Net Meeting
Frontpage express with WYSIWYG HTML editor
How already mentioned Windows 98 the first Windows was into the trade came (Windows 95 B/C gave
it only with new computers), which came with AGP, Infranrotschnittstellen, USB and DVD clearly.
The latter naturally only with hardware decoders. In addition Windows 98 supports several (to 4) diagram maps,
so that one can provide multi-monitor systems favorably.
By additional diagram maps the Desktop can be extended
For the new file format FAT32 stands even its own program for converts from FAT16 partitions
for the order, it functions however unfortunately only in the one direction.
The conversion of drive assembly makes the new FAT32 from FAT16
The support of DVD is limited to simple data DVDs and special decoder maps.
One needs thus under normal conditions a software DVD Player.
New programs were hardly added opposite Windows 95C, as really new can one only
Imaging and the maintenance assistants designate. Imaging is a simple twain kompatbiles Scan
Program. The maintenance assistant bundles the tasks which one under Windows 95 still individually
to call had to hold around Windows in shot. One can with it the plate optimize (defragmentieren),
and redundant files delete. With the help of the task planner it becomes even a certain time
settled.
Imaging can deal with all twain compatible scanners, offers however few organization possibilities

Which the German its “START” is, the Spaniard its “INICIO”. Which it for the Chinese
experiences one is in the Windows 9x internationally side.
Result:
Among play friends Windows 98 /98SE was the operating system. No system supported more plays,
of the simple DOS Game up to at that time current 3D play. In the meantime the 9x is row of Windows
lengthen replaced. The play market controlled of Windows XP, the reason are current drivers,
current plays and enough arithmetic performance around older DOS plays in an emulator, like DOS box, or
to let run in a virtual DOS computer. To be silent from stability completely.
But Windows 98 belonged not completely to the old iron, if DOS plays still another role, then is worth that
Employment still on a second PC.
Microsoft nevertheless extended the Extended support phase in January 2004 to at the end of of June 2006.
