1) Windows lies[1]
2) What do you mean unreliable? It disconnects at seeming random times, or 
   more like packet loss?
3) I'm still yet to decide if I love or hate SCO...[2]

[1] Windows 98 runs 15 - 25% faster with IE 4 removed, and you save
    around 35 - 40MB of disk space. Sure it runs slower.... <nods in 
    MS's general direction>

[2] Ouch, don't hit me.
