Does SP1 apply to Windows 98 SE or not?

SP1 of what?
If you mean Internet Explorer 6 SP1, then the answer is "yes"

There's also an unoficial SP1 designed for Windows 98SE, which also apply.

But Windows XP SP1 and SP2 are not required as Windows 98 and XP are not
the same type of cheese.

Okay, for security reasons should Windows 98 users be using IE6 SP1 then?
Are they prone to infections if they are not?

I have heard stories about pirated Windows XP and not being able to install
Windows Updates and infections occuring.

It would be a step in the right direction, in that regard.

Well, it's all relative. It's not all or nothing.
