As a Mac user, I'm part of that stubborn 3% of the marketplace that doesn't really care which version of Windows is being shipped from Redmond -- but it's impossible to ignore the increasing drumbeat of announcements that Windows 98 is about to be unleashed upon the industry. Assuming that the Department of Justice doesn't surprise us with some last-minute sanctions, it's reasonable to assume that Microsoft will begin shipping the "official" version of the operating system sometime in the next 60-90 days.
