Reinstalling Every Year

I often hear people say that Windows 98 had to be reinstalled every couple of months to yearly because of how unstable it got. I’m still using my Celeron Windows 98 First edition PC, no modifications of any sort and I’ve never had an issue with instability or the need to reinstall, and I use it almost daily still. What kind of instability are people referring to? Is there something I should avoid doing that causes it? I’ve never seemed to have any issues and BSOD is pretty rare as well.

CRM Makes Windows 95 Applications?

I just watched episode 4 of the ones who live and I thought it was strange that the screensavers were the 3D pipes animation from Windows 95. Later versions like Windows 98 and 2000 also have this screensaver but I counted 4 books on the shelf that are for Visual Basic 4. Visual Basic is a program for creating Windows desktop applications, and specifically version 4, released in 1995, is for making Windows 95 apps. I found it really strange because you don’t really see Visual Basic 4, it was quickly replaced by later versions and the industry settled on VB6 so seeing VB4 at all is kind of obscure, let alone multiple VB4 books and only VB4. So I guess that might mean the CRM uses Windows 95 still in at least some of their operations (besides the Windows 10 seen in The World Beyond which shouldn’t exist since it was released after 2010).
What kind of apps do you think they’re making and using there during the apocalypse?

Edit: I thought this was one of the CRM research outposts but I was mistaken, it seems to not be
