OS wars aside, I think the reason you'll frequently encounter surprise is
that 95/98 aren't considered servers. By the same token, if you
proclaimed that you were going to use Corel Draw to write your master's
thesis, people would ask "Why not use WordPerfect instead?" A response
of "because I know Corel Draw, I don't want to take the time to learn
WordPerfect" will probably leave people fairly confused.
That aside, hey - go for it. That's the great part about being a
hobbyist; you don't have to answer to any clients. Of course, if you ask
for technical help somewhere you may get fewer useful responses, since
people will persist with the "well why the hell would you want to do
that?" So just don't ask for help and don't try to sell it to anyone, and
you'll be fine.
