The hackers diary at the SANS institute notes that the WMF vulnerability
is a "watershed momemt" for people with 95/98/ME as this is a
vulnerability caused by viewing an image that Microsoft do not intend to
patch on these OSes.

Perhaps we should agree a standard 'low resource' GNU/Linux install for
such machines? Or perhaps it is better people just upgrade, people give
away machines more than capable of running modern GNU desktops.
