Windows 98 Question and Answer - By Randy Cassingham http://www.thisistrue.com/
Question: Will the Microsoft vs. the Government, et al., thing
affect the release of Windows 98?
Answer: No. Microsoft is perfectly capable of slipping schedules
without the help of the Justice Department.
Question: Will it actually come out in 1998?
Answer: Yes, it pretty much has to. Like Windows 95, however,
they'll just start selling a buggy beta version and call that the
release.
Question: When will that happen?
Answer: November.
Question: When will I be able to buy a stable version?
Answer: You won't. You will have to buy a new PC to get the newest
version. Think of it as trading in your car when the ash tray gets
full.
Question: Is it true that the million dollar a day fine is "pocket
change" for Microsoft?
Answer: No. Even Bill Gates doesn't carry that much cash in his
pocket. It is, instead, being paid out of Petty Cash.
Question: Is it true that the Internet Explorer is an integral part
of the Win98 operating system and cannot be removed?
Answer: Yes, but only because Microsoft has disabled the "delete"
key on your keyboard, as well as the "Recycle Bin".
Question: Windows is looking more like Macintosh every day. Why
doesn't Apple Computer do something about it?
Answer: They did: they became a subsidiary of Microsoft.
Question: The Intel-based, Microsoft operating system-run PC has
been a mass consumer product for more than 15 years now. When will
I be able to do some work on my computer without it crashing,
getting fatal errors, and seeing periodically corrupted registries?
Answer: As soon as you remove two things from your computer: the
Intel processor and the Microsoft operating system.
