The default installation settings for win-98 did not include printer
or file-sharing turned on (while on the contrary XP's default setting
WAS to have file sharing turned on).
Also note that Win-98 was not vulnerable to Welchia or Blaster.

Again, they wouldn't be able to infect a default installation of
Win-98/se - even a virgin install (no patches or updates applied to
it).
Also note that it was quite common to use NetBEUI (not TCP/IP) for
file sharing on SOHO networks back when '98 was popular, so again
there was an added layer of protection in the event that file sharing
was turned on.

A very poor performance ending up with IKYABWAI lameness.
