I think that has more to do with Windows 98 than FAT32. When it's
stable, it's reasonably stable. When it isn't, you've got a real problem
trying to sort out what the problem is.

Note that despite the names, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 are *very*
different creatures. I have had no problems with FAT 32 on either
Windows 2000 or Linux.
