Who HASN'T ever had a nonworking win9x ?
BeOS is great for this. May indeed be its most useful niche. Get your mail, web-browse and manage LFN's from all mounted FAT16 or FAT32 volumes.
Looking for a no-hassle, no-compression backup/restore of Win9x w/ all LFN's and sys files?
One DOES NOT need windoze running to launch BEOS-5. It launches just fine from real-mode DOS.

You Know, BeOS is pretty good. Its best feature is its level of multitasking with our a hitch. It is good for a spare OS. But get stocked up with the right application for the OS also. No point in haveing a backup OS with no application to work on.
