Yaacov: MSFT goes up and splits every 3 years or so and with them putting their software in new autos beginning next spring, it could be bigger than the desktop pc industry, I don't see why it should'nt continue to do well. W98 will certainly help their revenue, and it will be big for the entire industry. I always keep some msft stock for long term but I do make a second buyin when it trades down about 20% from the yearly high, playing the second buyin for a short term gain. The stock may languish for a while until these state atty generals and the DOJ settle with msft, but when the news comes out that msft has the green light, the stock WILL go up. Jim - Dallas

I would say 99% of the current users will upgrade to win98. Think about that if you have spent more than $1000 or even $1500 for the hardware, would you just save $109 not to upgrade the software , and which will make your system less efficient ? Just like a car, If you lready spent $20k for a car, will you save that $200 not to fix the break , which will threaten your life on the highway? So, I would say 99% of the current users will upgrade from WIN 95 to WIN 98 if their hardwares allowed.
