Microsoft delays Win 98
Microsoft Corp. last week said it will delay the launch of Windows 95's successor but the company released to manufacturing a new version of Windows NT designed for mission-critical servers.
Microsoft said it now plans to ship Windows 98 in the second quarter of 1998 as opposed to an earlier first-quarter projection. Microsoft attributed the delay to customer concern regarding the process of upgrading from Windows 3.1.
The company meanwhile released Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 which will ship commercially next month. The product will include Microsoft Cluster Server the so-called WolfPack software that provides two-node clusters on standard PC server hardware. A Microsoft spokesman said a number of federal customers are involved in beta testing Enterprise Edition.
