I've been using 98 since '99 (I'm a slow starter). I've never had to do a forced re-install or had destruction of the OS. But this could be due to the fact that I have active-x disabled all the time, and j/script on prompt, and it's not very often that I allow it. I even went as far as making my own index page for a board that converted to a j/script index. I also do deep deletions of "temporary internet files" and I have freed off up to a gig on some machines after the files had been deleted in IE. I haven't allowed ICQ onto an important computer either since AOL bought it. That's another virus highway.
I've got SuSe here, and Linux will be my next OS, There's no way that I'm going to be installing Dickhorn. (well I might have a test rig just to see how my sites display to the surfing sheep).
