Since you asked...rarely. I found 98SE to be very stable, but then I gave it the attention any system deserves, namely a monthly cleaning out of Temp internet files, performing scan disc for repairs, and defrag.
I still do it today on both boxes with XP, along with a weekly clone with Norton Ghost from c: to the backup drive, to insure all the updates that I've installed are on the back up drive, so I will truly have a working back up. Keep a clean running pc and there will be minimum problems.
Regarding my reluctance to change file systems. I don't mess with what's working, and if the router firewalls, Windows Defender, Norton Internet Security,etc won't keep a hacker out then there's little chance a file system will prevent my little old pc from getting hacked, especially when you consider that even with all their millions of bucks, Microsoft has been hacked.
You asked.
