No, you definitely don't use Windows 98 - that's an NT 5.x-style name 
(W2K, WXP, WServer2K3).

Windows 95/98/Me don't use that sort of name, and neither does NT 4.0.

I'm not sure you will; W95/98/Me work differently from NT 4.0 and 5.x 
(4.0 has UNIXish names, with a short prefix and a number; 5.x has those 
names, with a GUID).
