Here's one ripped from Ars-Technica, a techie website:

--------------------------------------
Wow, the prophecy comes true
Despite heated debate in the Forum and elsewhere, it looks like the
well-wishing concerning the Win 98 "bugrade" didn't work.
--------------------------------------

"Bugrade" refers to Microsofts dubious marketing practice of packaging
Win98, special (or second)edition, which is essentially a collection of
bugfixes, with some frills for garnish, as an upgrade.
