The story has got pretty comprehensively garbled.

Win98 does have some 'learning' capability, but its got nothing to do
with crashes, it observes your usage and attempts to optimise things
to make the common stuff a bit faster. You can see it do that with a
clean install of Win98. If you watch carefully in the first day after the
install, it will pop up a message telling you its doing that etc.
