While a lot of people seem to be bent on making Windows XP go away, this is still a thing...

UNOFFICIAL Windows98 Second Edition Service Pack 2.1a (Freeware)

Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users. It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more.

Only mention I found around TPFC is at viewtopic.php?t=3343. Softpedia page at www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Unofficial-Windows--SE-Service-Pack--Final-Download-9065.html.

Also no mention of disk cost but the downloadable package is roughly 17MB. Anyone for a Windows on (way) less than a Gigabyte and able to run on 32MB of RAM?

BTW, this topic is now irretrievable via forum search, since both "windows" and "98" keywords will be promptly discarded...

...those people can take away my WinXP when they pry it from my cold dead fingers...

That's very handy. There are a log list of great games that worked best on that platform and the "SE" setup was ideal among them.

Kudos to the author.

A video that makes a really nice complement for the present topic -- or merely as time-waster for the nostalgic...

And... etch another one for WASM: you can now run Windows 98 in your browser -- irrespective of it being Chrome-based or not -- just after this little jump...

Well, you can in fact run a bunch of different OSes in the browser -- including all Windows up to 2000 and MS-DOS v6.22 -- just check the full list at https://copy.sh/v86/, where you can set some pre-launch system options and even add floppy disk images...

Previously, I was only aware of (Electron-based) Windows 95 (viewtopic.php?p=91573#p91573).

DOS, Windows95, Windows98, Windows2000
