Default IE 6 in Windows 98 Second Edition

I was wondering what the consensus of this group was of adding the Windows
2000 updates to IE 6 sp1 in Windows 98 SE. Please don't let this thread
become another back and forth between 98 Guy and MEB but I know it probably
will so I post it reluctantly. However, I am interested in real world
results of whether it causes IE 6 sp1 to become unstable and/or whether it
causes new vulnerabilities into IE 6 sp1. I added a few updates to IE 6 sp1
from Windows 2000 just to see what would happen but discontinued the project
due to a perceived lack of interest from the community. It did not seem to
cause any harm but I have no way of knowing for sure of whether this ended up
being a good thing or a bad thing and since when in 98SE I generally use
another browser to surf I was wondering what the consensus was in this group.
LOL!!, yes perhaps I am the only one left willing to live on the danger zone
with 98SE but don't worry I have the appropriate safeguards in place on my 9x
side of the system.

Where stability is a concern, consider instead Mozilla
Firefox, now up to version 3.6 but versions 2.* appear
to work flawlessly under Win98SE.

After many, many frustrating attempts to get IE6 to work with those
'new' websites - hang all the time; I completely abandoned in favor of
Opera 9.64 [newer versions available] since then no problems, and I'm
running Win98SE.

Several times Opera itself has raised attack flags and stopped
malware, before any firewall saw the attack. As a result, I abandoned
trying to use Firefox versions and now use Opera. Sadly, I still get
'government' sites that complain I don't have IE 5, or later?!
Nothing like govt helping an individual company, eh? For those sites,
I roll out antique IE6 and use once.

Try editing the Site Preferences in Opera just for that site, and set it
to Mask as Internet Explorer.

Go to the problem page, right-click in a blank spot on the page, and
click Edit Site Preferences on the context menu.
Click the Network tab, and in the Browser Identification dropdown,
select Mask as Internet Explorer, and click OK.

That's looking on my Opera 10.5x, but your version should be similar.
