Great expectations: A tale of USB zdnet.com

This is moderately off topic. USB has been floating around for years now, and is generally considered a good thing technically. So what's the hangup? Wouldn't you guess.

A USB speaker system can therefore be a cost-effective combination of the electronic and mechanical systems that turn sound files into training, communication or entertainment.

But all of this assumes that the underlying operating system is ready. Think again. Our Aztech demo was marred by many crashes of the Windows 98 beta that the company was using in its booth. USB on Windows 95 is not widespread, and Windows 98 leads early betting for "lowest-impact product at Comdex/Fall 1998."

Windows NT 5.0 is hot on Win 98's heels, with my colleague Timothy Dyck predicting that Microsoft will fill a gaping hole in its revenue stream by releasing NT 4.5 next year.

The worst of times, indeed.


Cheers, Dan.
