There was a great editorial in Information Week this week. Stephen Manes, "Microsoft and the Big Lie", page 214. Mr. Manes says that Win98 has two things: 1. Features that can be downloaded free of charge for updating Win95. 2. Bug fixes. He then says that his remedy is simple. Since Win98 is mostly a bug fix, the DOJ shouldn't stop it--they should just make Microsofot give it away for free. (For the humor impaired, it was a joke). -- Regards, Joe Ragosta http://www.dol.net/~Ragosta/complmac.htm
