We need <98, 2k or XP> here because it provides the feature that it is
not ME and therefore not crap.

Hrm. Think I worked around that one :P

I think 98SE would be good, on the insecure box idea, however XP with
enabled guest and full privlidges or simply Admin with no password would
also work just as well, and I wouldn't mind having some more of the
things XP has to offer, extended tweakability, and well, general
wellness over 98SE. This doesn't mean I'm against 2k either with the
same concepts on security, but I personally prefer XP.
