Quite an unstable operating system. Crashes basically every time you run it, even after a clean installation, especially when you're busy using Microsoft Word or such programs. Frequently presents a blue screen of death for no reason whatsoever.

Windows 98

When you're nailing your girlfriend and then you shatter 98 window panes over her head.
Guy 1: Bro, I just Windows 98™'ed my old lady last night.
Guy 2: You used an outmoded operating system with her?
Guy 1: You never done that before? That's how I know you're gay.

A fairly okay OS that seems to crash a lot more often when used by geeks and Linux zealots, especially those who claim that Windoze is soooooo easy to use. Well if it is easy to run, then you shouldn't have a problem running it in the first place.
Or could it be true that geeks truly are less intelligent than they claim they are after all?
A clean install does not mean just loading the fricking OS onto the computer. Any Windoze-using idiot knows that Windows 98 reboots a bunch of times before the system becomes operational, and requires the CD THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE installation process.

If someone is not understanding simple things easily and/or is physically slow and not energized, he/she is running Windows '98. *It helps to know if the person is usually smart and/or physically quick to make the judgement justified.*
*It is early in the morning*
