I don't speak for the devs, but I do have a brain, hence I feel no reticence when I predict... there is no chance in hell of that happening.

The devs have never shown any interest in supporting modern beta guest OS's, let alone betas of an OS which is decades obsolete. We users of the free version of VirtualBox benefit from development funded by paying (business) customers, and I don't really see why anyone would want to fund developent of this feature. Are you anticipating huge market growth in the "16/32bit Windows 98 beta version" sector?

p.s. Capitalizing every word makes your sentences hard to read. In English you only capitalize the first word of a sentence, proper names, and acronyms.
