No, that's not what Windows does.  When it crashes, it leaves debris
and doesn't clean it up, so that it tends to crash again.  Eventually,
so much mess is lying around, it wont run and you have to do a "clean
install".  Windows can't even keep your desktop icons arranged
properly.  Microsoft's solution to crashes is to run scandisk
frequently on boot up like there's something wrong with the disk.
"It's on the disk!  It's not our software!  The error is somewhere on
the disk!"  And each time Windows 98 runs scandisk, it scolds you for
improperly shutting down your computer.  
Take care,
