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.

Cut Internet Explorer from Windows 98 with your own bare hands 
Brian Livingston 
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.
