On June 25, 1998, Microsoft released Windows 98, code-named "Memphis" during development. It included new hardware drivers and better support for the [[FAT32]] file system which allows support for disk partitions larger than the 2 GB maximum accepted by Windows 95. The [[USB]] support in Windows 98 was more robust than the basic support provided by the [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEM]] editions of Windows 95.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247969/|title=Windows 95 OSR2.x Support for External USB Hubs|date=October 31, 2003|website=Help and Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051210032623/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247969/|archive-date=December 10, 2005|access-date=October 6, 2019|edition=3.0}}</ref> It also introduces the controversial integration of the [[Internet Explorer 4]] web browser into the [[Windows shell]] and [[File Explorer]] (then known as Windows Explorer at the time).

On June 10, 1999, Microsoft released [[Windows 98#Windows 98 Second Edition|Windows 98 Second Edition]] (also known as Windows 98 SE), an interim release whose notable features were the addition of [[Internet Connection Sharing]] and improved WDM audio and modem support. Internet Connection Sharing is a form of [[network address translation]], allowing several machines on a LAN (Local Area Network) to share a single [[Internet connection]]. It also includes [[Internet Explorer 5]] as opposed to Internet Explorer 4 in the original version. Windows 98 Second Edition also has [[Windows 98#Windows 98 Second Edition|certain improvements]] over the original release, and hardware support through device drivers was increased. Many minor problems present in the original release of Windows 98 were also found and fixed. These changes, among others, makes it (according to many) the most stable release of Windows 9x family—to the extent that some commentators used to say that Windows 98's [[beta version]] was more stable than Windows 95's final (gamma) version.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://aroundcny.com/Technofile/texts/tec032998.html|title=Windows 98: Stable and fast, as well as new and improved|last=Fasoldt|first=Al|date=March 29, 1998|website=aroundcny.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020614101017/http://aroundcny.com/Technofile/texts/tec032998.html|archive-date=June 14, 2002|access-date=October 6, 2019}}</ref>

Like with Windows 95, Windows 98 received the Microsoft Plus! add-on in the form of [[Plus! 98]].
