      Ahh, people going 'OMG Windows 98!1!!' for some random use case where the system runs isolated from any network. Like in-flight TV etc.

      Or as an interface to medical equipment that has been running fine for a decade. Like, as long as it's airgapped, what's the threat model?

      Win98 is one of the most robust pieces of software for these applications. Maybe most hardened OS for devices, period.

          Well, if done properly, and that's a big if. But main advantage over, say, XP Embedded is its ability to do near-realtime.

          And it really depends on what it controls, too. It's often mostly the control interface, not within the critical path.

          THERAC-25 tells us that interface *is* in the critical path. But yeah. It's still a great OS for those applications.

          Hmm, yes, I guess so. My definition of 'critical' is whether a restart of it affects the operation of what it controls 🤔

          And I would most certainly not advocate building anything NEW based on it, but if you have an existing, stable config ...

          Basically, most of the rep Windows has comes from people running it at home, on cheap hardware, with bad software.

          Properly configured, stripped to the bare minimum, you can rival BSD uptimes on the right hardware 😄😜

          But that requires work, and care, and like all things is something that gets saved on. Linux would be no different.
