Can you upgrade a Windows 98 guest in VMWare Fusion on Mac OS X to Windows XP with an upgrade CD?

Yes, I just did it. With the XP Upgrade CD in, in windows 98 go to run in the start menu and open setup.exe from the cdrom drive, it'll install xp on the windows 98. Because you're not making a new guest OS in vmfusion, it still shows up as "Windows 98" but the actual OS is upgraded to be XP.

How do you install Windows XP Windows 2000 and Windows 98 software on Windows 7?
If I understand your question correctly, you already have Windows 7 on your PC, and you also want to have Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 98 running as well. The easiest way to do this would be to install a virtual machine and operating system. I recommend VMWare Player, which is a free virtualizing system which is compatible with just about any "guest" OS. For example, I have two flavors of Linux and Windows 98 running as virtual machines on my XP host machine. Other options would include the Sun VirtualBox, or Microsoft Virtual Server. I think VMWare Player is the easiest and most reliable.
Can you run vmware player onn ubuntu Linux?
VMware Player allows you to run entire operating systems in a virtual machine, which runs on top of Ubuntu or Windows. To the guest operating system (the one running inside the virtual machine), it appears as though it were running on its own PC. The host operating system runs the VMware Player, which provides the guest with things like network access. VMware Player is available from Ubuntu's Multiverse repository (in 6.06 LTS through 7.04), but is not included in Ubuntu 8.04/8.10. It can be downloaded for free from VMware.Virtual machines configured with an operating system and applications ready to perform a specific function are called virtual appliances. An appliance can be created using certain VMware products, or you can download ready-made appliances. A wide variety of appliances (both certified and not) are available from VMware's

How does the VMware FileSystem Sync Driver vmsync work?
The VMware FileSystem Sync Driver (vmsync) is a new feature that creates backups of virtual machines. Creating quiesced snapshots using the SYNC driver requires waiting for I/O to drain in the guest operating system. This might affect time‐sensitive applications, such as DBHammer. If you do not install the SYNC driver when installing VMware Tools, you can avoid the delay caused by the I/O draining. However, it results in snapshots being only crash‐consistent, unless you provide custom quiescing through pre‐backup and post‐backup scripts in the guest If the guest operating system is Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or other newer Windows operating systems, a Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) module is installed. For other, older Windows operating systems, the Filesystem Sync driver is installed. These modules enable backup applications to create application-consistent snapshots. During the snapshotting process, certain processes are paused and virtual machine disks are quiesced.

What is a virutal machine?
A virtual machine is a physical device emulated in software. In current computing references, this means any given software that allows you to run guest operating systems on a given host (e.g. running Windows on a Macintosh computer while being able to use both operating systems at the same time using Parallels or running Windows 95 on Windows 8.1 at the same time using Oracle VirtualBox, QEMU, VMWare, or Microsoft Virtual PC).

How do you bridge the same IP address between Windows as host OS and Linux as guest OS in VMWare?
You need to connect VMs to internal NAT (should be configured with physical adapter to access physical network). While within NAT VMs are going to have different IP addresses, within physical network (your local network) its IP address is going to be the same.
