Vista putting a dent in 98 userbase?

[98 Guy]

If you disable the file and printer sharing (which would disable NetBIOS), then yes, I guess you'd be pretty safe. Though there are still those IE shell extensions... I think it was someone in this forum that mentioned it, but he/she wasn't more specific.

File and printer sharing are not turned on for a default installation of 98 (but they are for XP).

If anyone would have the identity of these supposed IE shell extension vulnerabilities, it would be Secunia:

Which of those 32 advisories is it?

Or which of these 70 IE 5.5 advisories is it?

Remember, we're talking about an exploit that does not require that the user be running IE or be surfing the web. Only that the computer be connected to a LAN / Web.
