Windows 98 on new systems

I have a client who is running an application on Windows 98 and won't move on to newer applications. Is there a way to run Windows 98 on top of a new system like windows 7 such as some emulation mode?

I don't think the Accepted answer should be the poster's own comment, and also one that only extends the question - even if it is only getting 0 points.
