			<H3>Microsoft judge gets advice</H3>

			<P>An expert on technology and law, asked personally by the judge for
advice in the Microsoft trial, argued Tuesday that a crucial appeals victory
for the software company in a related case may not protect it from the
government's latest antitrust claims.</P>

cyberspace law professor at Harvard, were an important indicator of how
Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson is leaning in the landmark case as he prepares
his verdict, which is expected by early spring. At Jackson\'s request,
Lessig suggested ways the judge might structure part of a verdict against
Microsoft so not to clash with a 1998 federal appeals ruling that was highly
favorable for the company. That decision came from the same court expected
to review Jackson\'s verdict in the current trial</P>');

			<H3>Windows gets 'Millennium' name</H3>

Windows Millennium Edition.</P>

iteration of the OS designed for the home user," said Shawn Sanford, group
product manager for Windows. The company has said that Windows Millennium
Edition will include software to view and edit digital video, along with
updates to the Internet Explorer Web browser and other, undisclosed
features. Windows 98 and its predecessor, Windows 95, are the world\'s most
popular software programs.</P>');
