It has become established policy on this board to just pooh-pooh any suggestion of running that other OS.
So, you just have to accept that as reality.
By the way, I can think of a truckload of reasons why running Win98 on a Pi would be desirable and much better than setting up and running a standalone X86 box. At one point there was a particular piece of software that I was very interested in, that ran on Win98, and which I would have loved to run on a Pi (for various reasons, running it on a "cheap, second hard, X86 laptop or whatever" was not desirable). I never quite got around to doing what was necessary to make it happen (so, obviously, it must not have been THAT important to me...). Then the makers of the software in question broke it so that it wouldn't run on Windows anymore, so the whole thing became moot. Since then, it has never been a priority of mine to get Windows running on a Pi.
