Well, I got my answer. Here's the release: dailynews.yahoo.com Microsoft To Release Windows 98 2nd Edition In Fall REDMOND, Wash. (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday the company planned to release the second edition of its Windows 98 operating system in the fall. Gates said at a launch event for the company's new Internet Explorer 5.0 browser that the operating system upgrade would be sold in retail stores and be preloaded on most new computers. The new edition of Microsoft's latest consumer-oriented operating system will include the new browser as well as new device drivers and other updates, Gates said. Windows 98 was released last year as the upgrade to the widely used Windows 95 platform. He also said Microsoft was getting ''pretty close'' to releasing the last major beta test version of its Windows 2000, operating system, which he said would provide the foundation for all future systems. Windows 2000, previously known as Windows NT 5.0, is a long-delayed upgrade to Microsoft's desk-top and server operating system for businesses and network use. Gates declined to say specifically when the Windows NT technology would be integrated into consumer versions of Windows. Teflon
