David, I presently have two monitors doing what you describe, but requires 2 computers. I'm sure that I will obtain Win98 as soon as available, but I hope that I don't have the same experience as the introduction of DOS 6.0 a few years back, with "doublespace".
Loaded it and lost everything on the hard drive, and could not be recovered. Threw away the hard drive and replaced it.
Win98 must require a lot of memory. How much RAM is running it?
As for MU channel, I see the bottom portion of the channel at about 26 1/2 and the top at about 31. The option open interest favors the 30 strike price at this time, so I am hesitant to play the downside before Friday. I am getting itchy for MU action, as I have no position.

DavidG,
Sounds like a dream setup. Is microsoft offering the beta on win98
to the public? In other words, can I go buy it on the net?
Thanks

You can run two screens with same OS/computer. That sounds neat, but are any of the apps simplified. Does 98 improve on any other features? Just curious.

What makes you think that if Microsoft didn't have a stranglehold on the PC OS market that you would not have seen Win98 functionality sooner? We all sing the praises of competition and free markets - why shouldn't Microsoft have to play by the rules?
