i use windows 98 for games AND work based activites i also tried win 2k and mandrake linux win 2k runs all my office based applications 100% fine but try an make it run a game is virtually impossible u have to turn off any advanced features or it has a spasm,freezes or puts up a BSOD. Mandrake linux i did like, although i couldnt run most of windows work apps i found that there were plenty of free alternatives that in a lot of cases were better i could also get some winapps to run in WinE i did intend to persvere with it till pressure from my family forced me back into the micr$hit rut again and back went win98
