> Win98 is just a giant service pack for Win95 that Gates is making everyone pay for ! I see your point. But so what? We pay big bucks for software maintenance contracts for every other major OS (like UNIX). $90 to >Where is MSFT's revenue going to come from over the next two quarters ? Gosh, I don't know. I didn't realize that their revenues had suddenly dried up. You go short. I'll stay long. >People are hesitant to upgrade to Win98 because of all the problems (some) people.

Lots of cash. Perhaps he is addressing the reliablity and scalability issues.
