It was awkward enough when the presenter had trouble getting his microphone to work ahead of Gates' keynote speech. But then Windows 98, Microsoft's updated version of its operating system software, crashed during Gates' presentation. "While we're all very dependent on technology, it doesn't always work," Gates joked. Gates was presenting his "Windows Principles" -- of which Windows 98, to be released early this summer, is an example -- at the COMDEX/Spring '98 convention here. Windows 98 is designed to make the computer simpler to use whatever the purpose, and uses a browser to find everything from documents on an individual computer to Web sites on the Internet.
