According to a Microsoft VP, last summer's launch of Windows 98 was lower-key than the introduction of Window 95 three years ago because:

  1. It might antagonize the U.S. Justice Department.

  2. Tonight Show host Jay Leno demanded too much money to preside over the software launch.

  3. It didn't deserve the same kind of incredible euphoric celebration.

  4. There were insufficient funds in the marketing budget.
