98SE was complete crap and people only forget about it because it was followed by ME.

It had its issues, but for the time it was good. Probably depended on the machine and what you were running. That was back in the days when making things work meant the right drivers, and the Win98SE CD usually made it work.

ME was so bad that MS forgot about it themselves. I bought a new laptop with ME installed that ran terribly, replaced it with 98 and it ran great.

ME was even worse. It either worked fine or just didn't work at all (BSODs all the time). 98SE was crap as well, but ME is the leader in that department.
