This is really cool, the only thing I see is the font rendering looks choppy. An antialiasing issue I think, but it looks worse than some non-antialiazed fonts (like the EGA 8x14 pixels font) too

To be very pedantic: also the dropdown menu, when opened, looks very different than the original 98 style

Sadly this is the dropdown provided by the host operating system. The tell is that it can extend beyond the browser chrome! 98.css doesn't ship with any JS, and I thought about hacking it with checkboxes and :after but.... no thanks.
