Of course there will be bugs, but I don't think they'll make it available
in the stores until the year after it's number (or they change the number
again).

So what can the news be this time? W98 had no new things except making it
even easier for programmers to create bad programs (TVcard manufactours
could make programs that sucked much cheaper). It had MMX instructions in
the kernel if it was run on a MMX capable computer and it had IE 4.0 that's
free (to delete) anyway. It was in all cases for me slower, but I think
that's what M$ and Intel strives to do. M$ must get something for each CPU
that Intel sells (espacially since there's a "Made for Windows 98" label on
them. How useless, it's a CPU for the Intel PC nothing more nothing less!)
