Comment(by herbalist):

 Quoted from https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en
 "Stable Expert Bundle works with Windows 98SE, ME, Windows 7, Vista, XP,
 2000, 2003 Server"

   98 is a supported platform for Tor.

 From
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/WindowsBufferProblems

 "If your Tor server is experiencing a problem with "[WSAENOBUFS] ![10055]"
 error messages while running Tor, you are experiencing
 [[https://bugs.torproject.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=98%7CFlyspray
 Bug 98]].  This is a well known, and apparently commonly experienced, bug
 with running Tor servers on non-server versions of Microsoft Windows 98,
 ME, 2000, and XP."

 These systems all share this bug. The changes made to my system appear to
 have mitigated this problem. If the changes made by those upgrades can be
 applied to XP, which is also a supported platform for Tor (and the most
 common OS on the planet) more of them could function effectively as stable
 relays, which are badly needed.

 From
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerOS

 "It would be great if more people with Windows experience help out, so we
 can improve Tor's usability and stability in Windows."

 They specifically asked for input from Windows users. There is no reason
 or need for prejudice against all but the most current version of Windows.
