NOW things might get interesting: Justice Department investigators are building a new antitrust case against MICROSOFT (Thursday's close: 138-5/8) that could affect its planned introduction of Windows 98, the Wall Street Journal said. The new case could reach far beyond the issue that the company just settled. The new case, if it goes forward, would attack the heart of Microsoft's strategy of using Windows to break into new markets. One approach being considered is that the Justice Department demand that Microsoft provide a version of Windows 98 without Internet access to computer makers who want it. Microsoft plans to introduce Windows 98 later this year. The WSJ also said the government is reviewing Microsoft's contracts with Internet service providers. (Reuters 03:37 AM ET 01/23/98)
