Windows 98 is a 16/32-bit hybrid operating system created by Microsoft, and released in 1998. It is the successor to Windows 95, and runs on top of MS-DOS. Windows 98 is infamous for system instability, caused by incompatible libraries and an easily corruptible file system. Microsoft discontinued all security updates to Windows 98 in 2006.
