"only XP systems are affected because..."

SNIP

In looking up information on Mebroot / Sinowal, I found
many pages showing Windows 98 in the list of vulnerable
operating systems. A continuation of stupid, misleading,
ignorant or reflexive tendencies to add Windows 98 to such
lists, or a concerted effort to continue the illusion that
windows 98 is vulnerable to even the most recent exploits
and malware.

With regard to this and future malware, we will continue to
see win-98 show up incorrectly on lists of affected
systems, and MEB will continue to bring the new malware to
our attention - even though they do not (and most likely
will not) be operable on or compatible with windows 98.

I am sticking with 98SELite, I don't use any other MS
"software", I have ScriptSentry installed, and I don't care
about any online "dangers". In 15 years I have gotten ONE virus
in an email from an idiot friend. (It couldn't do anything
because I had the system well-secured, but it sure was unwilling
to be removed.)
