Lee, sluge in our rivers? yep that about it from uSoft. What 98 will show first is a moving IE channels thing. IE does that with active desktop, which is optional on MT and 95 but part of 98. Operative word being part of. With 98 uSoft has wired it into the OS. Microsoft was quoted as "cutting off the air supply to Netscape. They also have documented uSoft going to NSCP and saying you live this area alone and we'll toss you this piece of the pie. That IS anti-trust. And, if you go back that far, they were allowed to kill off OS/2. Of course IBM helped alittle but they worked with ISV's to have them ONLY write Window apps. They said we'll show you how to write the killer apps but you have to only write for Windows. Unfortunately OS/2 is/was a far better OS but...Microsoft won that one. Microsoft generally puts out trash and eventually gets it running. Ideas that fly, from other vendors Microsoft picks up and tries to own, leveraging it off of Windows. They have a long history of this. I am not a big government fan either but, in this case, Microsoft has been begging for a nose bleed and only the government is big enough to give it to them, if even they are big enough. Besides, for uSoft it's a win-win. If people can't go to 98 they go straight to NT which is where uSoft wants everyone anyways.
