$WIN98 is back, onchain ๐ฅ
Windows 98 didn't just boot, it paved the future.
- First OS to run the Windows driver model. Every driver you've installed since, inherits it.
- June 25 1998, Shipped "Windows Updates". The idea of software that finishes itself after you buy started here.
- First native USB. The port on every device you own traces to the same teal desktop from decades ago.
- June 10 1999, Internet Connection Sharing was introduced. (The ancestor of every home network alive today!)
"Retired in 2006", but every feature you use RIGHT NOW all began with $WIN98
Now onchain, directly beside the company it built.

$WIN98 is the foundation to everything.
