Magnifying their problems
From: Federal Computer Week, 04/20/98 - page 42

Microsoft Corp. officials recently visited Washington, DC to tout the
company's efforts to make its software more accessible to the disabled. They
seemed well aware they were in the shadow of the Justice Department, which
has acused the company of unfair business practices. 

While talking about a screen magnifier that will be part of the upcoming
Windows 98 operating system, one official explained that the feature - which
will increase print size up to nine times - was only for "occasional" use and
not designed to compete with stand-alone software already on the market. 

Given DOJ's case against Microsoft's integration of Internet Explorer into
Windows - a move that set off a "browser war" with Netscape communications
Corp. - no doubt the company wanted to avoid any appearance that it planned
to start a "magnifier war".
