Windows 98: Beta version

*Note: this is episode 72 of the XP Blackmoon Trilogy series*

Hello, everyone. My name is David, and me and my friend, named Mark, used to work for Microsoft. We still live close to each other, though we originally lived in a trailer park, But, you all might remember me and my friend Mark's encounters with the windows codenames VeggieTales, Tattletail, McQueen, ME beta version, and others. So, let me tell you this story of our encounter with a beta build of windows 98.

## Story

I was having another sleepover with my friend, Mark, while staying over there for Christmas.

Mark wanted to show me something one day. Me and Mark went to his new Dell computer, which ran the outdated Windows 95 operating system.

He also showed me something else, which was a Windows 98 beta copy. Mark told me that his uncle used to work at Microsoft, developing windows 98's final version.

He got the floppy disk with the beta version as a gift. So, with both our curiosities, Me and Mark decided to insert the floppy disk into the computer, since his uncle wanted to upgrade from 95 to 98.

## System

Me and Mark watched, as a pop-up window appeared, saying that a new version of windows was detected, and if we would like to upgrade. Mark clicked the "Yes" button. The computer turned off, and then turned back on.

Me and Mark saw the windows 98 boot-screen, except with the text, saying that it was beginning the setup program. The setup went as usual.

Once we completed the setup, I clicked the restart button, as the windows 98 startup sound played with an HD sound. Me and Mark were amazed at the system, which had a floppy drive icon, and the Internet.

Me and Mark decided to go onto the internet to play some nickelodeon games. The website loaded, but, we jumped at what we saw.

The website now had very creepy versions of Bonzi, Peedy, and SpongeBob. The three stared at Me and Mark. Then, Bonzi started speaking. "You thought we were finished invading random windows computers?" He spoke, as if I even knew, though I worked for Microsoft during the development of whistler.

Peedy then spoke. "You cannot escape what you have done. You can never get rid of us." Then they all spoke in unison. "You cannot escape our wrath, no matter what operating system you use."

Me and Mark decided to go to the videos folder, so that hopefully some videos would calm us down. We clicked on the videos file, and we were spooked to find the videos have been modified in some way or another.

We saw the first was a classic Garfield episode, and it was titled "The zombie cat." Me and Mark knew that no Garfield zombie episode was produced or aired.

The only two we could see were our favorite show, SpongeBob, and that there were only 2 episode available, which one had the blinking SpongeBob picture, which the first episode title was "The spooky snail zombie.".

The last one was called "Carnival mayhem." Me and Mark didn't wanna watch those episodes. We went back to the desktop, until we saw random error messages popping up, reading various things about how I made the Garfield come back to life.

Me and Mark had enough. We used the uninstall program to downgrade back to windows 95. Me and Mark sighed in relief, because we didn't have to see that horrible operating system on the computer anymore.

So, here's a quick tip of advice. Be careful what versions of windows you find, becaue who knows what force could be hiding in it.
