I have a dual boot XP/Win98 system but I can honestly say I
haven't needed to use Win98 for over two years. Even Doom3 works
in XP if you Google around a little. I haven't tried personally
though, and I don't run any old games any more which might be
awkward under XP.

Of course it works, its supposed to work under XP. Its tough to get it
working under Win9X, unless that is waht you meant and just got it backwards

You're right. Complete brain to finger interface failure.

Make sure you have all the latest updates/drivers for your peripherals.
I have been running XP since Dec 01, it has been very stable for me.

Yes. Actually I could say that my Win98se is a dedicated "sim" os
..
On 98 I run - GPL, NR2003/TA, GTR2002, GTR-Demo, LFS, etc.
On XP I run - any other games - Doom3, Far-Cry, etc.

I don't use Win98 for anything else EXCEPT sim-racing.

That does afford me a nice "stable, reliable, no-driver-issues" sim-racing
system. Don't really ever have to worry about some new game that
requires new driver version that does not work with GPL and creates
some new problems that I gotta get sorted out before the next league race!
LOL

When I race... I reboot from XP to 98 and everything works as always!
