States Ready To Move Against Microsoft, Windows 98 zdnet.com The attorneys general from about a dozen states are expected to file a joint action against Microsoft Corp. within the next two weeks in an attempt to block the shipment of Windows 98. . . . In hopes of pre-empting the move, Microsoft has called upon some of its closest operating-system licensees to publicly come out in support of the operating system. Microsoft officials confirmed that they have been in touch with licensees regarding the importance of Windows 98 and how being prevented from shipping the operating system will harm the OEMs. Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan said some OEMs have also called Microsoft to offer their help. Oh, I'm sure all the OEMs will be lining up to help. With little Michael Dell in the lead, of course. It will all be sincere and voluntary too, they'll all explain that they like being treated like dirt, wouldn't have it any other way. "They have to ship the machines the way we build them". Cheers, Dan.
