Geehrt: Explorer/killer Win98lite

Shane Brooks, der - wie vor Monaten berichtet - einen Weg gefunden
hat, den Internet Explorer ohne Nebenfolgen aus dem System Win98
zu extrahieren, wird nun auch in den massgeblichen IT-Kolumnen
Ehre & Würdigung zuteil.
Das Motiv Shanes Win98 lite zu schreiben, resultierte aus einer
Kombination von Speichermangel und Geldnot.

In recent months, I haven't written exposes of Microsoft's
preposterous legal arguments in the U.S. Department of Justice's
antitrust case because Microsoft has been doing such a good job by
itself. Everyone is now familiar with the doctored video
demonstrations, the "performance comparisons" using dissimilar
modems, and so on. You can almost hear Bill Gates saying, "Gee,
they ate it up at Comdex."
....
We now have the opportunity, thanks to an insightful volunteer
named Shane Brooks, to see for ourselves whether these claims are
true. Brooks, an Australian who is currently studying at the
University of Maryland, has developed a Web site that shows you
how to remove IE in the comfort of your own office. Brooks cites the
following benefits.

You get back about 35MB of hard disk space;

Windows 98 runs much faster; and

Netscape Navigator doesn't crash under Windows 98 anymore.
(What a coincidence.)
...
Brooks' Web site names many other files you can delete, Registry
entries you can remove, and so forth. And he makes available three
free programs that automate a lot of this for you. Go to
http://www.98lite.net for details.
