Will Gates succeed in doing for the info highway what he did for desktop computing? Microsoft seems to be leaving little to chance. In December the Justice Department issued a new round of subpoenas as part of an ongoing investigation of Microsoft's Internet strategy. The latest complaint: when Windows 95 users try to connect to the Net, Microsoft's software wipes out the Internet settings of its rivals. Company executives offer no apologies.

...only missing nest egg. Also unaccounted for were the savings of more than 180 of his colleagues at International Technical Services, a firm in Melville, New York, that hires engineers and places them on jobs at companies around the country. Since then the Labor Department has brought a civil complaint accusing Ralph Corace, the former owner of the company, of looting some $3 million from the 401(k) funds. "You can't trust anyone these days," says Wynn. "I feel very betrayed...
