C#, Windows 98 and OLE Automation

Hell
I m making a C# windows application which connects to excel to retrieve live data( stock quotes which are feeded to this excel sheet from other program via internet). The data in excel sheet is continuously changing and I want it to be reflected in my C# windows application, means i should get access to dynamic data all the time (like DDE, but it's earlier technology)

So my questions are

1. Can I use OLE with c# to maintain a permanent link to Excel so that data flow is there? Is OLE the right technology as speed is an important criteria for my application. Will .NET have any performance overhead compared to VB6 or VC++6.0

2. My application will also run on these systems: Windows 98, Windows XP. XP is no probelm but i think i need to distribute .NET Resdistributable with my Application for running on Windows 98. Is this the right way? Will my application run flawlessly on Windows 98?

Thanks for considering my query
