not that good. It's ok yeah. It comes on the computer and I'm not
throwing it out but I am not paying good money when there's other OSs
just as good. If not better. Windows focuses on the masses that can't
do anything from a cli so they need a gui. People that barely know
how to turn on a PC.

What was the point or goal of installing Windows 98 into a VM? There
must've been some reason you wanted Windows 98 instead of, say, Ubuntu
or Mint as the guest OS.

Windows 98 SE
Become Plus XP Sp-3

For Ubuntu or Mint
Do Not Run On
Virtual pc 2007
On XP

If had a XP
You would have
know that Debian

-based Linux
operating system

Would have to be install
on a Oracle VM VirtualBox
Running on a XP

Windows 98 is a frankenjob of MS-DOS kernel and 98 kernel. There was a
CLI available (which I assume means the DOS kernel versus just a command
shell). If you don't really want Windows 98 in the VM and are looking
for a free DOS-type of operating system to run in the VM then you could
use FreeDOS in the VM.

"It comes [Windows 98 came] on the computer" sure sounds like it is a
pre-installed OEM license which means it is locked to that computer and
cannot be used in a VM. An OEM license doesn't care it if sits idle.
Having a spare and unfettered license to Windows to utilize it within a
VM is what stops a lot of users from using VMs running Windows: there's
the expense of another unfettered Windows license needed for the VM.
No, there is no Microsoft police that will come to arrest you nor will
they file a lawsuit. It's you deciding whether or not to comply with
the terms of the contract to use Windows. Lots of users find all sorts
of excuses to do what they want because they can get away with it. If
there is no perception of penalty, many people will steal. They have
adaptive morality which means they don't have any unless they fear
punishment. If you visit eBay, there are lots of sellers distributing
NFR (not for resale) versions Windows and all those sales are illegal.
eBay doesn't enforce their own rules because they want their
auctioneer's commission on sales.

Legally
Windows (Pay) for windows

No But They can Come after

Install Xp on win7, or 8 and with
Oracle VM VirtualBox
