...Microsoft, it's a bitterly phyrric victory. Windows 98 will ship on June 15, and the marketing blitz will be launched ten days later. But a mere three months of sales down the road, Redmond gets hauled before the judge -- potentially, to get its browser ripped out for good. "This is a very fast track," says antitrust law expert William Kovacic. "For a monopoly case, the time to trial is routinely a minimum of two to three years." William Neukom and the rest of Redmond's legal team had better put the coffee...
...other Western news-focused sites are occasionally accessible because of software glitches on the blackout servers. And most Chinese with Net access are savvy enough to find what they want even in the face of a watchful, nervous government. One group of university students in Tibet fired up a browser in front of a reporter recently and pointed it at the most controversial site they could imagine: Bill Clinton's own www.whitehouse.gov The opening screen, "Good evening from the White House," came up with no problem...

Microsoft has decided to beard the lion in his lair and ask a federal appeals court flat out if a preliminary injunction prevents it from bundling the Internet Explorer browser into Windows 98.

The company's spin on the matter makes the release of Windows 98 sound like some unpredictable natural phenomenon, like the migration of caribou, that would be unnatural to prevent, and Microsoft invokes the image of a pathetic, browserless Windows that "would bear little, if any, resemblance to Windows 98." Well...
Bill Gates wants to turn your PC into a full-purpose multimedia box. Win 98 users who shell out $100 for a TV add-in card can tune in to all the browser-based WebTV content Hollywood can produce--if Microsoft can persuade Hollywood to produce it. Also key: a new DVD driver that should make gaming hotter than ever...
