Positive reaction is to states and likely DOJ not outright blocking Win98 distribution. On the other hand, states will proceed against MSFT on anticonsumer action, same releases. Also, what it really seems to indicate is that states don't plan an independent action from DOJ. DOJ is now expected to call for injunction requiring Win98 distribution without the browser, rather than outright hold in Win98. Problem is, how will MSFT distribute Win98 without browser? Not as simple as deleting icon in Win95. Street seems to be showing small investor excitement on what is no change in status quo.
