Should DOJ let Window98 be available on time? It depending on who you ask. For Mac group, we seem not too much care about it. Does the tension between DOJ and Microsoft have anything to do with the meeting between Clinton and Jobs? Well, at least one point I am sure of is Apple's the only alternative pc platform exists. The best way to reduce Microsoft's monopoly charges is to boost the visiblity and marketshare of Mac platform. What Mr. Clinton can do is to encourage Federal Government to use Mac in agencies such as DoD, NASA, DOT, etc. to take advantage of Mac's hardware speed as well as pricing on performance/price ratio, and help balance between Window and Mac OS. In such way, Microsoft will reduce its monopoly suspect although it seems Microsoft is really dominating pc's OS. The marketshare will be gradually shifted to Mac if Federal Government really buys more Mac from now on. Phil
