Msoft Speeds Win98 Release
by Randolph Court and Dan Brekke

10:35am 22.May.98.PDT
In a ruling that gives Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) a window of opportunity to go to market with its new PC operating system, a federal judge today set a September date for a hearing on a federal and state motion to force the software superpower to dramatically alter Windows 98.
US District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson set the 8 September hearing date even as the company announced an aggressive speedup in its schedule for getting the new software to consumers.

Jackson also granted a motion to consolidate the cases filed by the Justice Department and 20 states.

Microsoft had set a 25 June release date for the software that merges the company's Internet Explorer Web browser into the rest of the operating system.

But company attorney John Warden told Jackson that computer manufacturers who received the new OS earlier this week would be free to begin selling the machines next week and that over-the-counter sales of the product will begin 10 days earlier than planned.

"Wal-Mart will have them and they can start selling them on June 15," Warden said
