This is exactly why I come to HN, vs Wikishemedia... People here WERE THERE!

When I worked at C_ we used to load Some solitaire game (Freecell) to verify that Windows98SE was in 32-bit mode before installing the network stack, and Chief Legal Officer, and from what I understand CLO was $4,000 a seat.

Load Driver, Reboot, Solitare, CLO. and then onward to disk optimizing, and then virus scanning... Two people did 89 machines, in 4 days. an entire floor... Food was delivered, and we slept for 4 hours, in the floor below, and on Friday, The head of Legal called us into his office... we showed him the checklist, as complete, and He laughed... the whole department was both amazed and happy.

He really called us to change his desktop into a scene from JAWS.

It was Windows 98SE that got a 32-bit disk driver upgrade, and FreeCell verified that it was installed.
