Senate does not like Mr.Bills Win'98 Bundling What's funny about this to WAVO shareholders is that there really is no competition yet for WebTV for Windows, and that MicroSoft is actually doing consumers a favor by offering this VBI fed content system free and built into it's OS. If anything, WaveTop's acceptance in Window'98 could spur on a whole new industry for other content and network providers. Oh well... Hatch writes Gates on Windows 98 By Dan Goodin Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM March 26, 1998, 7:30 p.m. PT Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin Hatch today sent a letter to Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates indicating that it would extend its ongoing investigation of alleged antitrust practices to include Windows 98. It is the first time that the Senate committee has outlined the scope of its inquiry following a high-profile hearing in Washington earlier this month. (See related coverage) "We are interested in Microsoft's relationship with major original equipment manufacturers; Internet/online service providers who participate in Windows referral programs or otherwise have prominent placement within the Windows boot-up sequence and/or environment; and Internet content providers who appear either on the Internet Explorer 4.0/Windows 98 'channel bar' or within one of the channels," the letter stated. It mirrors investigations being conducted by the Justice Department and numerous states, which have indicated that the upcoming Windows 98 is a major focus of their probes. Microsoft denies any wrongdoing. ------------------- P.S. It's official, you will be able to download WaveTop for Windows'95, April 6, 1998 from this site.
