The matter is with steam itself. The program might stop being compatible with win98 on the newer version as of july 2007. Thats is the warning message one get while loading steam under win98 wine emulation. So I worry whats gonna happen after upgrading.

------- Additional Comments From gad.pade.r@seznam.cz 2007-22-06 09:51 ------- The ending usability of Win98 on steam is no problem. Just use winecfg and set win98 in the settings for hl2.exe. You can set windows XP as default. Steam will boot, and work normally. When you start any vale game as Counter Strike or half-life2, it will run under imaginar win98 :)
