I use win4lin to support MSIE for software development.  It seems to
work just fine with Windows 98.  I can access my smb/lpr printers just
fine and the CDROM.  The only thing it doesn't seem to support is
activeX.  I've also used it with some weird MS meeting software through
IE that it didn't handle very well.  My only disappointment is if I want
to use it with a 2.6 kernel, I have to pay more money....
