After market close, MICROSOFT CORP CEO Bill Gates charged that the federal and state governments were seriously considering a plan to delay Windows 98 and said that to do so would hurt the U.S. economy. Gates said that the states and federal government have spent resources to, "scour up any kind of (legal) theory." "This is a very serious situation," he said. "I wouldn't give the probability, but we read every day that there is a very good chance that some people might do this. It is under serious consideration. "Any government action that would derail or delay Windows 98 would hurt the American economy and would cost American jobs ...the effect would be profound and would ripple through the economy."
