Japan's Windows 98 sales surge

More than 500,000 copies of Microsoft's Windows 98 operating system (OS) have been sold in Japan in the month since the Japanese-language version made its debut, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japan's largest business daily.

The release has helped lift the personal computer market out of the doldrums, raising PC sales by 20-30 percent from a year earlier, the newspaper reported. The first 250,000 packages were sold within two days. Since then, sales have remained strong and steady at Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district and elsewhere, with activity concentrated on weekends.

Not even upgrade problems for users with older PC systems slowed momentum. Its debut was credited with helping boost June PC purchases by a whopping 37 percent.
