>>NT is much more stable. Each application truely runs in it's own memory space. Multi-tasking is handled better. I've had times on Win95 where one application grabbed hold of the processor and I couldn't even task switch to another app. I'm not saying this won't happen in NT, but it is much less likely.

>I think the contest is a little closer when comparing 98 and NT. I would tend to go with 98 for typical home use (some development, some web use), as its web configuration capabilities are stronger, but NT in a network environment. Also, multi-tasking is better in 98 than 95, from my experience...

I have yet to install 98, but from what I have heard, it is more stable than 95. I also agree with games...98 supports games much better than NT due to different video drivers, directX support, etc.
