Ibexx,

It looks like that Microsoft becomes softer and is willing
to make negoitation with DOJ this time. Changing contracts
one day before meeting with DOJ is a strong hint that they
are not in a harsh position against DOJ anymore. My personal
guess is that Microsoft will agree to give the same options
in Windows 98 to PC makers as in Windows 95.
