It didn't say "use" win98... it says "own". I have not used a non NT based Microsoft OS in years (they're junk), but I own them all... every version of DOS, every version of OS/2 (which early on was an IBM/M$ collaboration), all the Dos based and NT based Windows versions. I even own some weird non-microsoft Intel OS's like CP/M, Beos, and a couple versions of Linux that came with books I've bought (most of the time with linux I just download em... not sure if "own" applies there... maybe "possess" [img]smile.gif[/img] ). It's possible I've got every OS that ever ran on an Intel 8086/8088 derivative platform. It's been a long road, I may make fun of Win98 now but back when it was released it was a pretty cool upgrade to 95 and I used it. I guess it only "stinks" in relation to the technology available in 2000 and XP systems today. There's no reason to run it IMO unless you have an old PC or a bunch of ancient games/hardware that you can't get to run on 2000 or XP. I've long since given away all my Pentium II and older systems but I do know a few people running 98 on old Pentium's and P2's with a whopping 64 or 128 meg of ram... lol.
