While we do not here express an opinion on the merits of any investigation of Microsoft-, we respectfully urge you not to take any action that might delay or block the release of Windows 98.
The consumer PC business is a seasonal one, and any delay to Windows 98 will undermine our ability to include these products and services in the "back to school" and holiday demand - traditionally the industry's strongest sales seasons.
The direct effect on the U.S. economy of a delay to Windows 98 would be considerable: more than 2 Million Americans, for instance, develop software that runs on Windows, while a similar number work in the computer services industry.
