In a recently posted video, Digital Foundry showed that retro gaming enthusiasts are able to get Windows 98 running on an Xbox Series X through emulation.

Running Windows 98 on an Xbox Series X only works by using a controller and a keyboard because although many mice are compatible with the console, this emulator isn't currently capable of using one. The DOSBox Pure emulator doesn't come complete as it stands as Xbox Series X owners will also have to install specific drivers to ensure that the system requirements for a game are met before being able to play it. The games also play off the Xbox Series X CPU, with no input tracked from the GPU in the Digital Foundry video which highlights an original machine still rendering in-game worlds faster than the modern console in most cases.
