Bill Gates keynote was a hoot. Half way through the demo of Windows '98 his product manager was showing a demo of plug-and-play demo of USB support and got a Blue Screen of Death. All he could say was "Oops. Moving right along..."

Other than the minor snafu, I was amazed at some of the features that will be included in Win '98. It makes the your PC function more in synch with the web (not in a bad way like the evil Active Desktop included in IE 4.0) but instead adds more of a web browser interface to common compoenents of the operating system like file browsing, accessing the help system, etc.
