VirtualBox has the quality of virtualizing almost any operating system with excellent driver compatibility using VirtualBox from the versions where it was necessary to capture the mouse and keyboard to use it on the guest and then release them with the Ctrl key to use it on the host, and I can say that the development and constant updating by the community have made this a great virtualization software that has great driver support. It is even ideal to test an operating system with some internal modification, as in my case a Linux distribution to which a modified kernel was implemented in which different types of tests were performed before placing it in production, It is definitely safe reliable and robust Therefore, I would not hesitate to recommend its use as a virtualization tool. It is really an excellent tool to develop all kinds of tests the idea of being able to virtualize any operating system and within being able to apply test settings verify its behavior and even more its compatibility with the system is fantastic. To speed up installation, and to avoid numerous problems, copy the win98 folder to a folder on the hard drive (such as c:\win98) and then run setup from there.Comments: VirtualBox has allowed me to develop and test applications on different operating systems in a safe and controlled environment. You may need to disable various acceleration features first, or consider emulators like x86Box or PCem. Note: VMWare and VirtualBox can be problematic with Windows 9x. All others require an appropriate Windows 98 Boot Floppy. Important: Only the OEM Full version is bootable. This will allow systems as old as the 80386 with 8MB of RAM to run Windows 98 (although this will be far from optimal) Hardware requirements can be bypassed in the setup with the undocumented /nm setup switch. The last version of Microsoft Office capable of running on Windows 98 is Office XP. Other available upgradeable components include DirectX 9.0c, Windows Installer 2.0, GDI+ redistributable, Remote Desktop Connection (XP 5.1), and Text Services Framework. The last version of Internet Explorer that can be installed on 98 SE is 6.0. The Visual C++ 2005 runtime is the last to carry Windows 98 support.
