Windows 98 SE Service Pack 1.2 (unnofficial)
Personally I hate out-dated OS (the whole 9x family and NT4 is a perfect example). But for those who are stuck with a 98SE box and want some improvements/fixes for it, I came across a user made service pack which took tons of WinME updates and applied them to Win98 SE. You can grap the Win98 SP1.3 from here. The updates that this SP adds are:
52 hot fixes. (All of them are from Microsoft's WindowsUpdate.)
256-color tray. (Some icons on the tray like WinAMP's icon will be shown better.)
Better Defrag. (Faster. It is from Windows ME. However, It works properly on the Windows98 SE.)
Better Notepad. (Same Notepad with more key bindings.)
Optimized swap file usage. (Windows will not to use the swap file at all until all of the RAM is used.)
Better WDM/USB support. (Most problems about WDM drivers and USB devices are solved.)
Windows Scripting Host 5.6. (It is latest version of Scripting Host which also contains VBScript and JScript support.)
Visual Basic 6.0 SP5 runtime library. (To run Visual Basic 6.0 programs.)
Windows2000 color scheme. (You should select it from Control Panel-Display-Apperance.)
A few performance tweaks.
