I would use ReactOS in that case ;) ---------------> <a href="http://www.reactos.com">www.reactos.com</a> <br>The alpha 0.3.0 rc1 is already there waiting for the download yep an alpha but then that is what win98 always was, a badly designed alpha putted on the market with rush to produce money at the expense of a lot of data destruction. Fortunately later m$ paid that with some degreee of credibility loss. Anyway if an alpha is not enought for you the MAKE IT BETA ;) you have the sourcecode ready to play with.
