I didn't see anything special about Windows 98. It didn't sow any new ground between 95 and 2000. Windows 95 was significant because it was a proper standalone OS rather than a DOS add-on. Windows 2000 was the next major improvement, as Microsoft started basing their desktop Windows operating systems on the Windows NT kernel. Then of course came the well-loved XP, the only Windows version to be cloned as an open source OS. I never used Vista, Windows 8, or Windows 10. My latest laptop and desktop PCs have Windows 7 on them. It's enough like XP that I can relate to it. When it becomes obsolete, I'll just install Linux. Most of the time I'm on my Windows desktop, I'm logged into my Linux machines through a terminal program anyway.
