Hi, Mike
Do you know when MSFT is scheduled to start shipping WIN '98 to the OEMs? I noticed you work for the company. Thanks.

Hi Judy,
It's been shipping for a couple weeks now. I can't remember the date, but it was the Monday after the negotiations between MSFT and DOJ broke down. I think it should be available in stores mid June.
Thanks, Mike
And the old stock graph:
207.61.23.98
A spurt up, then flat to down for a while, then a nice, nice ramp.
