I wouldn't try to run Win98 on bare-metal new hardware, as there are likely
to be new devices (including motherboard/chipset drivers) which Win98
doesn't know about. But within Virtual PC 2007 and at least VMWare it runs
perfectly. I haven't tried to run it under Parallels. Also, be sure you are
trying to install a "pure" Win98, not an OEM-branded distribution, as those
are often highly customized for the particular hardware they are provided
with.
Specific cases of trouble aside, it *does* work generally, and it's really
great to have the ability to have multiple machines-within-machines running
at near 100% performance with support for virtualization in modern CPUs. The
inability to run Mac OS within a virtualized environment is a huge
disadvantage for developers.

Really? Maybe it's better now, but when I tried to install it in
parallels I could not get it to work in spite of all the help and docs
that described how you could. Further, we had to abandon an old air
conditioning control system because it ran as a DOS Shell and we couldn't
install 98 on any new laptops or towers from Dell.

Which unlike Mac OS, you can still run on even the latest hardware and
software (Core i7, Windows 7 64-bit) in a wholly supported, high-
performance way via Virtual PC 2007 (and several other VM products).

Reminds me of Windows 98; which, if you are a Windows fan, was a fairly
