Ivan: Yes unfortunately you still need a valid License of win98, and you still can buy win98SE OEM with new PC's if you ask for it. But you are right, who wants to give M$ more money.
There is an emulator that is getting very close. Wine from codeweavers.com is fairly nice. It will run games and small programs without a Windows Install. Wine gives you a choice when you install it; To use an existing Windows Install or Create one. When I run the Protel and Camtastic install under wine they would fail, but if I run Camtastic through Wine pointing to my Win4Lin install of Camtastic then it will work. But I haven't got Protel to run yet. I also haven't put much effort into it. So it might run yet. :) I haven't tried the commercial version "CrossOver Office" from codewavers, it might run Protel. But I'm not sure.
