Put 256MB of RAM into the machine, purchase VMWare and you can run NT and 98
simultaneously under Linux ;)). If 98 fails (some 10 times a day, even SE)
you just close the window and start it again. Fancy to play Doom at the same
time? Just open DOSEMU and start it :)). But seriously, using such products
as VMware enable a user, developer to work simultaneously on THREE (even
more) operating systems. Productivity? Here you go!
