Default Is W2000 more stable than W98SE?

More secure, yes. More stable... Not really. Win2K isn't as forgiving as 9x
systems. IOW, you're more likely to come across a program that makes Win2K
choke.

If the previous installation lasted 3 years, why not just reinstall from
scratch? Or buy a new machine and upgrade to WinXP. It's time to do that,
you know.

I have used W98SE for about 9 years, almost always very stable, once in

awhile screen
crashes or BSOD. Just before a reinstall last week, it was having screen

crashes
constantly for no reason I could determine, except the registry was 9

years old.

I have heard that people switching to W2000/SP4 say it is far more stable

than the
W98SE they were running.

Is it correct that W2K/SP4 is considered much more stable than W98SE?
