Draft:Windows 98

For pre-release wallpapers and pictures, see Memphis.

Windows 98, codenamed Memphis, is an operating system released by Microsoft in 1998. It is the successor to Windows 95. It reuses most of 95's wallpapers, as well as bundling several themes from Microsoft Plus! 95 and one from Microsoft Plus! for Kids by default. It was succeeded by Windows Me in 2000.

Wallpapers
The vast majority of Windows 98's wallpapers were reused from 95, and thus are not listed here. However, one additional tile was added, 1stboot. This was intended to be set on the desktop when booting Windows for the first time. There is also an Active Desktop wallpaper featuring a blue background with the Windows 98 logo in the top-right corner accompanied by a multicolored line.

Plus! theme wallpapers
Several themes from Microsoft Plus! 95, as well as the Underwater theme from Microsoft Plus! for Kids, are included with the default installation of Windows 98. All of these are identical to their original versions, save for the More Windows wallpaper featuring completely redone text to reflect the Windows version, while also adding a lens flare over the logo. No information is available regarding who produced these, although most likely in-house or outsourced.

Setup background
The setup background is a metallic-looking Windows logo with a drop shadow over a grey background. This fully replaces the setup background featured in Windows 95, and is also selectable as a wallpaper by default due to its being included in C:/WINDOWS.
