I know that Win98 is just a "windows shell" over dos. Unix I hear is a very stable integral system. Do they make a "Windows" point & click Op. system, which can accept popular program CD's... i.e. MS Office, or Netscape, or WinFax Pro, Quicken? Do they make a competitive Op. system for the consumer to use? Or should I look to IBM OS2, for these features? Or are there any other Op. systems which can perform like Win98, but with more stability?
