Macmillan Announces Windows 98 Titles

Posted on June 25, 1998

While 100 million individuals became Windows 95 users after its August 1995 release, Windows 98 is expected to boast two times the consumption rate of its predecessor. Microsoft is touting the new system as a leap forward in simplicity. Among the features that exemplify this: Windows 98 automatically carries out preventive maintenance in the middle of the night, crashes less frequently than Windows 95, according to Microsoft, and simplifies the peripheral connections.
