>>Does the September date mean Win98 will or can be released in June, as planned? no! from a legal standpoint, it is not an all-clear -- the request for injunctive action to modify win98 still sits before judge ronald whyte of the u.s. district court. remember, the sun suit involving java copyright violation is separate from the DOJ action. not all were consolidated together. thus, independent of the browser issue, if preliminary injunction is granted, microsoft may not ship the bits they desire at retail on june 15. if the injunction came down tomorrow, say, and the bits ship via PC OEMs; they could be held liable for contributory infringement. has microsoft indemnified the dells of the world? the wisest course is not to make an investment decision based solely on the DOJ suit without considering "the other" federal suit.
