Why innovate when marketing is good enough. Hal, those hordes of MSFT programmers don't just stop working because of some court ruling. MSFT is a very competitive company, and they strive to improve their products because they have high-quality employees who enjoy their jobs. Actually one of the biggest complaints about MSFT is that they go on to the next great upgrade before the previous one even has all the bugs worked out. John Dvorak's [PC Magazine] most recent column is about this very thing. John D. wishes that MSFT would have spent more time ironing out the quirks of Win95, and he laments the fact that Win98 is already on the brink of shipping. I somewhat agree with this philosophy, and I hope that MSFT does spend the next 12 months ironing out the quirks of Win98 and the built -in IE 4.0 that comes with it. I've already heard several horror stories about IE 4.0 and Win98 beta rendering people's systems unusable, and these aren't newbie people.
