My question is why would one want to do this in the first place? Please fill me in. If I'm running XP, why would I opt to log in under a Windows 98 screen?

Its has a more professional look.
Also I believe because it has the security feature of users having to click alt-ctrl-del before logging in.
XP does not have these features.
