Legal Action Won't Alter Windows 98: Microsoft Op Chief TOKYO (Nikkei)-The U.S. Justice Department's legal action against Microsoft Corp. will not delay the software giant's development of its Windows 98 operating system, Robert Herbold, executive vice president and chief operating officer, told The Nihon Keizai Shimbun on Wednesday in Tokyo. The department on Monday accused Microsoft of violating a 1995 consent decree by forcing PC makers to include its Internet browser on new machines. The legal action will not keep Microsoft from integrating its browser in Windows 98, Herbold said. Herbold said federal officials are not interested in reaching a settlement but in how Microsoft reacts. Microsoft will file a response to the contempt-of-court accusation before the deadline in 11 days, Herbold said. He noted the department has not taken issue with Microsoft's plan to incorporate a variety of other functions into Windows 98. --------------second article------------------------ Japan Mulling Microsoft Probe: Fair Trade Panel Chief TOKYO (Nikkei)-Japan's Fair Trade Commission may examine Microsoft Corp.'s sales practices to see if it is violating Japan's Anti-Monopoly Law, panel Secretary General Jotaro Yabe said Wednesday.
