Microsoft Meets Super Mario techweb.com This is about a new "convergence" thingy in the pipe, apparently something PC like built to use a TV instead of a monitor. Having played around somewhat with such things, I'm dubious, but never mind. There's also the first use I've seen of some new terminology for, presumably, the operating system formerly known as Windows 97. Broadcast PCs sound a lot like Microsoft's recently acquired WebTV platform, but these new boxes are not based on the WebTV design. Instead, they reportedly run a hybrid operating system that blends some features from Windows 9x's kernel and the browser view of Internet Explorer 4.0. Ah, the "Windows 9x kernel", that gives a little wiggle room for what's currently called Windows 98. These things are due "in early '98" though, probably about the same time you can buy WebTV+, or maybe not. Who can say? Cheers, Dan.
