Justice Dept. Won't Block Microsoft Windows 98 With Browser

Washington, March 12 (Bloomberg) - The U.S. Justice
Department won't block Microsoft Corp. from issuing a version of
its Windows 98 operating system that includes Internet browsing
software, the Wall Street Journal Europe reported, citing people
familiar with the case. Instead, Department officials are
considering asking U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield
Jackson to order Microsoft to offer a separate version of Windows
98 that doesn't include Internet software,
something the company
would likely resist, the paper said. Mandating a version without
the Internet Explorer browser would allow makers of personal
computers, and not Microsoft, to decide whether the browser is
installed on new PCs, the paper said.

Microsoft is appealing a ruling by Judge Jackson requiring
the company to provide a version of Windows 95 without Internet
software.
