The heir apparent to Windows 95, expected to be released in mid-1998. Originally it was called Memphis, and then Windows 97, but Microsoft changed the name when it realized that it was going to miss its target 1997 release date.
Windows 98 offers support for a number of new technologies,
including FAT32, AGP, MMX, USB, DVD, and ACPI. Its most visible
feature, though, is the Active Desktop, which integrates the
Web browser (Internet Explorer) with the operating system. From the
user's point of view, there is no difference between accessing a
document residing locally on the user's hard disk or on a Web server
halfway around the world. The U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ), however, may challenge this tight
integration by claiming that Microsoft is unfairly using its
near-monopoly in PC operating systems to promote its Web browser. The
issue will likely be decided by the U.S. courts. - PC Webopaedia, 1998-02-10
