Systemlogic heeft een review van Win98SE in elkaar gedraaid. Microsoft blijkt het nodig gevonden te hebben om een of andere vuile copy protection op de CD te zetten, waardoor kopiëren moeilijker wordt:
Your good friends from Microsoft got smart and decided to make the CD copy protected, meaning that you're going to have a hell of a time getting it to work. When I copied it for, um, backup purposes I tried installing it to my machine again and I got a bunch of critical exception errors; however, when I used it to install drivers for my video card and for some of its applications, it worked without a hitch. [break]Hmm, wil je dat ding uberhaupt we hebben?[/break] The bottom line is that you can pay 25 bucks to fix a lot of problems (3000 bug fixes remember) or just deal with it. Either way you're getting screwed somewhat.
