Will Microsoft's ad campaign hurt Palm III? www5.zdnet.com

In which we see the best free software offer yet- free Windows 98!

The marketing campaign attempts to buy share by offering a free upgrade to the next generation of Microsoft's well-known operating system, Windows 98.

One developer of software for palm-sized devices lambasted the ads as unfair.

"They are leveraging their product in the market," said the developer, who did not want his name used for fear of repercussions from the software giant. "Rather than competing on the strength of its product, it's tying it to Windows 98."


What, Microsoft trying to leverage its OS monopoly? They wouldn't do that, it would be illegal! They're just trying to jump-start market share for the "Palm-sized PC".

Cheers, Dan.
