Should. XP was the "upgrade" for both 98 and NT, replacing both. So, 
there isn't likely a reason it wouldn't. Unless, of course, there is 
some wrench in the gears, due to some minor quirk they changed between 
NT and XP, which suddenly hosed those specific applications. That is 
generally why, combined with pure ignorance of even if they would work, 
and how well, that keeps old crap in the system.
