Windows 98 (called "Memphis" during development
and previously called "Windows 97" based on an earlier schedule)
is a widely-installed product in Microsoft's evolution of the Windows operating
system for personal computers. Windows 98 expresses Microsoft's belief that
users want and should have a global view of their potential resources and
that Web technology should be an important part of the user interface. Although
building Microsoft's own Web browser into the user desktop has been an issue
in the U.S. Justice Department's suit, Windows 98 was released as planned
with its tightly integrated browser.
