DOJ may delay Windows '98. That hurts a lotta tech stocks, including DVD related sales..................................... nytsyn.com U.S. May Seek Delay of Windows 98 By ANNE MARIE SQUEO c.1998 Bloomberg News WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Justice Department is considering seeking to delay the release of Microsoft Corp.'s much-anticipated Windows 98 operating system, due to be delivered to PC makers in three weeks, a person familiar with the investigation said. The request for a delay, if it comes, would likely be part of a broad antitrust lawsuit against the Redmond, Washington-based software maker. The Justice Department has already brought a narrower lawsuit against Microsoft, accusing it of violating the terms of a 1995 agreement that prevents it from linking other software products to its Windows 95 operating system. That case is being reviewed by a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. The second lawsuit would likely be much broader, accusing Microsoft of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by using unfair business practices to protect and extend its monopoly on PC operating systems. A delay of Windows 98 is one of the options being considered by federal regulators, who are expected to decide by May 15 whether to bring another suit against the software giant, the person familiar with the case said. If such a suit is filed, government lawyers would seek a temporary restraining order. Justice Department officials said no decision has been made on whether to file a lawsuit. For its part, Microsoft says any delay for Windows 98 would hurt the entire PC industry. ''It would be a harmful outcome should Windows 98 be delayed considering our business partners have made business arrangements around our delivering Windows 98 on schedule,'' said Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan. Windows 95, which Windows 98 will supplant, is used on more than 90 percent of the world's new PCs. Windows 98, the so-called ''tuned-up'' version of its predecessor, is expected to be shipped to computer manufacturers such as IBM Corp. and Dell Computer Corp. by May 15 for installation in new PCs. Consumers could buy Windows 98 starting on June 25, the official worldwide launch, at retail outlets.
