Lurking how? What dialogs?

The article complained about things which were not configurable or not easily configurable. So did many comments.

Judicious animation has well studied benefits. I do not see how Windows 98's icons were more attention grabbing. Gradient title bars help locate the buttons in my experience.



> Lurking how? What dialogs?

I do not use Windows 98 as my daily driver, and I can't give you precise examples.

But I know that many areas of the OS, such as parts of the Control Panel, like the Display control panel require, load into memory, and include IE modules.

I hope you are aware that these are subjective.
