That is not entirely correct. Win 98, and I suppose newer versions, can use color profiles for the system. I am certainly using one now. Go into display setting, advanced, color management.
One of the strange things is, if you are using color management for the system, you have to turn it off in your picture editing software. AND, you need to set the gamma in you picture editing software to 1 as gamma correction is already done by the system color management.
