The Operating System

Windows 98, released by Microsoft on May 15, 1998, marked an incremental advancement in the realm of personal computing. Inheriting its lineage from Windows 95, this operating system sought to refine its predecessor’s user interface and augment system stability, albeit with modest success. The introduction of the Internet Explorer 4.0 browser as an integrated component signaled Microsoft’s tentative embrace of the burgeoning World Wide Web. Noteworthy for its pioneering support of USB devices, Windows 98 endeavored to accommodate the evolving landscape of hardware connectivity. Despite these efforts, the operating system was not immune to the inherent quirks and inconsistencies that have become characteristic of Microsoft’s forays into software development.

The Web Browser

Web-O-Matic Digital Browser 3.0, released in the summer of 1998, was the product of JustDoIt.net. Utilizing the same render engine as the installed version of Internet Explore, this browser’s core functionality was based around offering an alternative interface to the installed version of Internet Explorer while still rendering the page exactly as Internet Explorer would.
