Windows 98 supports Win32-based, Win16-based, and MS-DOS-based applications.
As illustrated in Figure 28.17, Win32-based and Win16-based applications run in the System VM. Win32-based applications each run in a separate address space, while Win16-based applications run together in a shared address space. Each MS-DOS-based application runs in its own VM.
