Sheila, > the gov't trying to block the release of Microsoft '98< State governments may do it. exchange2000.com If one state blocks Win'98, other states will sell Win'98 like hotcakes. There may even be smuggling of Win'98!<G> I don't think many people will postpone purchases of hardware because of a delay in Win'98. Besides, MS can promise would-be first time buyers free upgrades.

sheila, Lets not bring up the bad name (Bill Gates) around here. I think they ought to punt on Win98 and make a decent operating system called Windows 2000. I just got a new Box running windows 95 and it almost crashes with the regularity of a Rocky post. I think Apple is years ahead of old Microsquash in terms of quality software but Bill's army of "Windroids" will assure that Microsoft will give the masses a second rate platform for years to come. As for the impact of MSFT on IOM, the demise of AAPL would probably help IOM since everyone would become dependant upon archival backups to find all the missing files after they "upgrade" to Windows 98. Just my opinion, -john
