Windows 98, NT 5.0 launch dates tipped infoworld.com

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Microsoft may still be mum on the actual launch dates for its two most widely anticipated new operating systems releases, but a company that is known for working very closely with Microsoft disclosed on Wednesday what it believes to be the dates.

At a Taipei technology seminar, officials from BIOS and system software vendor Phoenix Technologies said Windows 98 would be launched on May 28, and Windows NT 5.0 is expected to ship in the first quarter of 1999.


The Merced/NT5 race is looking like a dead heat.

However, Phil Holden, product manager in Microsoft's Windows product group, said Phoenix's statements were nothing but "rumors and speculation."

That is, since it's not the official DNA/DNS/ Web Lifestyle blather it has no meaning, I guess.

Cheers, Dan.
