Also keep in mind that Windows 98 is no longer supported by Microsoft. So 
there is no need for anyone especially for us to support Zope on Windows 98 
in any way.

However that does not mean that Zope won't run on Windows 98. For a recent 
project where we ship and install Zope on all customers desktop machines I 
had to do a lot of testing especially on Windows 98. Although doing tests 
on any Windows version is pain in the a** I must admit that our Zope 
application (which is a rather complex application with multiple storages 
etc.) worked nicely without major problems on Windows 98. Ok, I also have 
to admit I could test the application on clean virtual machines running a 
mostly naked Windows 98 installation...but in general as result of my 
testing I have to say that Zope is running stable on almost every Windows
version.
