Yeah, almost as good as Win/98SE with the 64K GDI limit and still not 
too much more advanced than Win/95b with TCP/IP 1.2 other than some USB 
sup****t.   Not even in the same ballpark stability wise as the NT 
kernels.  Somewhat difficult to run even 98SE for long periods of time 
without a reboot to clear the GDI leaks and memory cruft.  NT variants 
can run for weeks or longer without going unstable.
