This is one reason why

I have a dual boot computer...

I can just simply reinstall windows 98SE within 24 hours and it does not bother me at all.

I don't want the games garbage tainting my powerhouse OS on the other boot partition..

Careful, using separate partitions doesn't offer total protection either. Protection schemes like Macrovision's SafeCast/C-Dilla also write to space in the first track of your hard disk, which is usually used to hold your master boot record and sometimes boot loaders or drivers. Intuit used SafeCast for Turbo Tax 2002.

Intuit is still saying sorry to users for that crap. They were quick to realize that people buy their program to do more than just their own taxes and that sometimes users need to use it on diff comps. I am sure Intuits competitors loved the year 2002 version.
