It's official, the much maligned Windows 98 operating system will get its first service pack on 18 August. The company continues to deny the ‘multimedia update' - as it will be named - is really a bug fix, claiming it has many multimedia enhancements.

Windows 98 has been widely criticised for less-than-simple installation with many customers claiming the product wrecks computers that worked well with Windows 95.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
