Win 98 support was cut in July 06, 8 years after it's launch and 5 years after the launch of XP.

i think he is talking about the OEM imaging software
microsoft releases images for oems which include the service packs pre-installed
that way if an OEM wants to pre install the software they only have to do one install to get the machine up and running (windows, sp, office suite etc)
OEM can build images themselves, or use scripted installs but most are lazy and will just use the most current version of the os
