Old dos games maybe?
It would be an interesting test. But my guess is that it will not run with the main issues being OpenGL 1.4 GLSL capable video drivers. Maybe you can do a test with it and let others know if it works. Just don't ask for fixes in the source to make it work or the devs might kill you

nobody in their right mind should still be using win98 for any purpose, especially if it's used online.
for old dos games you can use dosbox

I don't use 98 anymore. I was just thinking ultra-thin OS running on old hardware. Just playing around. I may try it this weekend. I have an old motherboard with an integrated 800mhz processor that I bought years ago and never used. Just wanted to play around with it and see what I could do. I'm going to try Linux as well, see what I can get out of it.

Well, since no one has actually 'answered the question', I will.
No, XBMC is not able to run on Windows 98 for a variety of reasons, most of which have to do with API/Library availability.
