FileSystemWatcher class and .NET 2.0 documentation

This web page on FileSystemWatcher Class in .net 2.0 says that the
class works on a win98 platform.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher(VS.80).aspx

I know for certain FileSystemWatcher does NOT work in .net 1.0 on a
win98 platform.

Was FileSystemWatcher fixed in .net 2.0 ?

Thanks...

I suspect not based on this link, though I haven't used win98 in ~15 years :)

It should. The underlying API works on Win95 and Win98, but with some
restrictions such as no network watching.
