Win 98 and QDEK

It appears that Microsoft Windows 98 release will be delayed indefinitely (http://www.infoworld.com/) according to the news release today (Saturday). Sherry Katz of QDEK e-mailed us on April 24 indicating their marketing plan. If you did not read the info when we posted it in April, you may want to read it now at home1.gte.net under road trips.

There is a possible win-win situation that could occur. If Microsoft would give Win 98 away free as is with Internet Explorer embedded, then the subtier hardware and software suppliers would benefit as well as consumers. (Netscape Navigator ain't that hard to load folks.) The Fed might have a tough time suing someone for a freebie. I think Bill G. owes us one. We have been good consumers for many years and besides the litigation cost savings would probably more than offset a free Win 98 to all.

Just a humble thought.
