Do you have an old copy of NT then? Something that runs on a P100 with 40mb
RAM? :-)
I think I'll buy a new PC late summer...
My favourite is still Win98SE Lite, and then follows your list. Win95 OSR
2.1 is also very stable. Know someone who runs at work a P266 with about as
much RAM (that probably does it) as (mega-)clock-cycles. He uses about only
MS-Office97, MS Internet Mail and News (no viruses), Seti and off coarse..
IE.
Guess the machine has every needed patch, as far as I can judge their
system-operator. Since they switched to a new virusscanner that doesn't
need to reboot at an update his machine runs for a few weeks now.

Same on Win9x, it just uses Winoa386.mod, the "DOS-emulation window".
BTW, I AM searching for a DOS-emu, since that would probably be more
stable. When the DOS program crashes / loops / whatever it isn't running in
the same process, like with the DOS-window now.

I'll take a look at that option.
