Most will but be careful, some will break.
DOS programs won't work properly with sound though .

When you run the windows XP installer, it will tell you if there are any compatability problems with programs already installed on the computer.

Most of them should work fine... The ones that didnt i just left for a few days and it sorted themselves out...
The same thing happened to my aunt, DT. Her sound card didnt work for a few days, and now it does. The exact opposite happened with my modem drivers, they used to work, but dont anymore

Do a dual boot. That's what I did.. all you have to do I believe is install Windows XP on a seperate partition (drive) than Windows 98.. then it will sort of setup the thing for you to dual boot.
I hardly ever use Win98, but a few things such as my scanner don't work in XP, so I use it for that.
