“Users who were distressed at the thought of paying Microsoft
Corp. $89 for a minor upgrade to Windows 98, take heart.”
“The full version of Windows 98 Second Edition, will be priced
at approximately $89 nd be available through the retail, reseller
and OEM channels this fall, as Microsoft officials have said
previously. Besides incorporating bug fixes, the full version also
will incorporate some new features, such as Internet connection
sharing, Internet Explorer 5.0 and new drivers.”
“But the company also is readying a CD-only, non-retail upgrade
for existing Windows 98 customers at a substantially reduced price.
Like the full edition, the upgrade will include fixes plus new
features. Microsoft plans to sell the CD direct only, as its low
cost will prohibit it from being a product of interest to
resellers”
