Why do I need at least WIN 98SE for Vegas Audio LE?

I'm not complaining per se. But it is annoying to have purchased both ACID PRO 3.0 and Sound Forge 5 which both work fine on my WIN 98 machine, only to find that I will have to plunk down another $100 to upgrade my OS in order to use a lite edition multi-track editor.

I just want to know why exactly it will not work with the original WIN 98 and is there a know hack to get around this requirement. I am not scoring video, I only want to use the multi-track functions strictly for audio.

I have access to a copy of WIN 98SE, but I really don't want to go throught the hassle of installing a new OS - especially one that came with another PC.

Is there a file or files that can be copied from the CAB files of 98SE that will fool the installer into thinking that I have 98SE? And more importantly, will this actually work?

And while I'm asking for the impossible, when is XFX4 coming out - you know, the one with the filter that will rip the data off an audio CD and seperate the instruments back into 24 tracks?

There is no certified hack for bypassing the 98SE requirement for Vegas.

A plug-in for ripping CD tracks and then separating the extracted tune into unmixed tracks? Whoever writes this plug-in should send me their resume!

A plug-in that can separate a mix into its original tracks? That is the stuff dreams are made of, my friend. :-)
