I'm having a hard time understanding this. Wouldn't it be easier/simpler for these crackers to just install their bots on, oh say, 20 million machines running XP than the crackers having to deal with installing the bot -and- the code to do the spoofing on Win95/98/98SE/98ME?
Doesn't matter. Either way it's an automated script-kiddie tool. No way either approach works if it requires manual keystrokes by the attacker.
