	Windows 9.x System Resources - HelpWithWindows.com
		These problems are somewhat less severe than they used to be because Windows 9.x manages system resources more intelligently than 3.x But it is still a very common cause of memory error messages and program crashes.
		Windows 98 uses an asynchronous input model for all input to the system and applications.
		Windows 9.x incorporates the Windows 64KB system-resource limit for better performance when it is providing backward compatibility.

	Sysinternals Freeware - NTFS for Windows 98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		NTFS for Windows 98 wraps the Windows NT/2000/XP NTFS driver in a run-time environment that simulates the Windows NT environment the NTFS driver is written to use.
		Because the Windows 95/98 environment is different than that of Windows NT/2000/XP, the level of NTFS support that NTFS for Windows 98 provides is not equivalent to that provided on Windows NT/2000/XP.
		Do not convert your first partition, or your Windows 95/98 boot partition (the one with \windows on it), to NTFS as there is no support in Windows 95 or Windows 98 for reading NTFS drives during the boot sequence.

		From 1999 and beyond, the successor to Windows 98 will be based on the NT technology, said Jim Allchin, senior vice president of the personal and business systems group at Microsoft, in his keynote speech at the company's Professional Developers Conference here.
		"Windows NT 5 is so strategic that Microsoft is going to bet the company on it," Allchin told the 6,200 developers in attendance.
		Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are already beginning to converge.

	How to Dual-Boot Windows 9X/Me and 2000 Pro

		It cannot be configured to boot multiple versions of Windows 9X (Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and Me) because they use the same boot file; however, there are third party utilities which can do it.
		Multiple-boot configurations with Windows NT and Windows 95, etc. are implemented in a similar fashion.

	Leave Windows 9x behind - ZDNet UK Insight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The root cause for all this instability is the fact that the Windows 9x operating system kernel is basically a cobbled together version of the prehistoric DOS operating system kernel.
		Basically this means that Windows 9x is so busy with its juggling act that a tiny failure at any point can bring the whole operating system tumbling down.
		Windows XP and its predecessor, Windows 2000, on the other hand, are built on the NT kernel, which provides a much more stable operating system core.

		On Windows NT 4.0 these privileges are granted via User Manager for Domains, but on Windows 2000 and XP you probably want to use Group Policy for propagating these settings.

	Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Upgrading to Windows XP from Windows 9x/Me
		Windows 9x/Me and XP may look similar, but they're built on two completely different technology platforms, and it's actually sort of amazing that an upgrade between them can take place at all.
		Windows 9x/Me is based on DOS, a 16-bit command line OS that debuted in 1983.
		It is the technological successor to Windows 2000, not Windows 9x/Me.

	Tweak3D.net - Windows 9x
		Until we can all move off to the blissful land of Win2k with its new technologies and high stability (hopefully), we have to live with the dead horse of an operating system based on DOS - something that was dreamed up way back in the late 70's.
		Windows if nothing if it isn't chuck full of settings to play around with.
		Just remember to be careful and be sure to write down any settings that you have changed and their original value - just in case.

	Windows 9x Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Windows 9x supports long file names up to 255 characters.
		Windows 9x utilizes preemptive multitasking for 32-bit applications and cooperative multitasking for older 16-bit operations.
		Some of these applications require complete control of the system's resources and will not run properly under Windows 9x so the Virtual Machine Manager creates a special environment for these application known as a virtual machine in which the applications can be given the resources that they need.

	Print - How do I install the Windows 9x Policy Editor?
		To install the Windows 9x policy editor under an NT machine just copy the Netadmin\Poledit directory to a folder on the Windows NT machine, e.g.
		Be aware - Profiles created under NT, even with the Windows 9x version of the policy editor will not be read correctly from a Windows 9x machine so the config.pol file needed for Windows 9x machines should be created under a Windows 9x machine and then copied to the netlogon share of the domain controller.
		Installing under NT is only useful for experimenting and it will not be able to load profiles created by a Windows 9x machine.

	PC911 - Friendly Computer Help In Plain English
		A common topic of confusion amongst Windows 9x users is the difference between resources and memory.
		Each one of these memory sections is 64KB in size, which is fixed due to the Windows 9x architecture, and cannot be increased.
		As a side note, versions of Windows that are based on the NT kernel such as NT 4 and Windows 2000, do not have those limitations and handle resource leaks a lot better than Windows 9x.

		It's fairly easy. Boot with your MS-DOS disk with CD Drivers, pop the 9x CD in your drive, and run Setup from the CD, and follow the instructions, which shouldn't be too hard. For the example, I installed Windows 9x in D:Windows.
		When 9x reboots after the plug and play check, you'll notice that NT Loader is missing. Don't worry, NT is still there. We are going to make it come alive with the NT Emergency disk is for.
		After you are done setting up Windows 9x, it's time to pop in NT Setup Disk #1 and reboot. Put in #2 when prompted. When setup asks what you would like to do, press the "R" key which stands for repair. You should then be faced with a screen with these options:

		The problem with using this truly optimal and minimal binding configuration is that, as I said above, that annoying bug in all versions of Windows 9x causes any completely unbound components to disappear from the network components listing.
		To keep NetBEUI from disappearing due to the Windows 9x network configuration bug, it must always be anchored to at least one adapter.
		Windows 9x users can do this by checking their machine's current IP address with Windows' built-in (but little known) "WinIPcfg" utility.
