My win98se computer has only crashed once, and that was a stupid hardware mistake that I made. The only other time that my computer went down for any period was after I installed linux. I am not bashing linux, in fact I still have high hopes for running a linux only system, but for now win98se will work. As for stability, the longest I have ever had my computer on without rebooting is 53 days(I had to turn it off to test some new hardware). Right now I am only 14 days into this run due to a blotched linux install.
