...and when you install Rain (or similar tools like Waterfall or CPUIdle) on Windows 95/98, counterintuitively, the Task Manager will show permanent 100% CPU usage, even though the CPU is actually idling and running cooler.

For me, the fact that Windows 95/98 can't use the HLT instruction is a reason why I wouldn't use these legacy operating systems to run older software. Not that many programs ran on Win95/98 but not on Win2000. Perhaps except for DOS games, which are better served by DOSBox.
