BILL GATES REMARKS FROM THE MICROSOFT INTERNET STRATEGY WORKSHOP Here are some key points that Bill Gates made, especially those relevant to Windows and Internet Explorer. "We want to be the best Internet client. A major way that we'll do that is through integration. We'll take what we do as a stand-alone machine or as a machine that works on local area networks; we'll tie that into the ways that we embrace the Internet, taking the best of the local case and the Internet case and bringing those together." "Windows 95... is what people want. There's a lot of work for people adopting that, so the thing we'll make available an add-on that people who use the Internet will overwhelmingly choose to use... Now, this add-on, in the future, it will just be a standard part of the Windows product, and the Internet add-on is the product that we'll be making available at no cost." "The Internet add-on unifies folders and Web pages. It's something that you have to think about a little bit to realize how powerful that is. Navigating folders has been fairly tricky. You know, you don't know what's there; you can't find things. Also, navigating Web pages, it's very easy to get lost and not know what's going on, and we believe we've created a solution to those that'll make information sharing a lot easier than it is right now."

MICROSOFT INTRODUCES ACTIVEVRML REDMOND, Wash. - Dec. 7, 1995 - Microsoft announced its development of a new technology to bring interactive 3-D multimedia animation to the Internet. Called active virtual reality modeling language (ActiveVRML), the new technology employs an innovative approach to media integration that adds value to existing formats and is practical at typical modem speeds. The introduction of ActiveVRML builds on the Microsoft DirectX initiative to take advantage of the power of today's multimedia hardware. ActiveVRML is optimized for authoring and playback on personal computers and allows content authors to deliver unprecedented 3-D multimedia effects easily on the Internet. Microsoft is offering ActiveVRML as an open industry specification and has submitted it as a VRML 2.0 proposal to VRML industry working groups. Created in tandem with industry experts on 3-D and the Internet, ActiveVRML is the result of years of development by leading Microsoft graphics researchers. With ActiveVRML, consumers will be able to interact with World Wide Web pages that come alive with interactive 3-D animation and 2-D cell animation accompanied by synchronized sound effects. Microsoft expects ActiveVRML to have broad use in advertising, entertainment, education and related applications, such as animated product catalogs, interactive 3-D games and online training. "ActiveVRML will bring the Internet alive for millions of users by making rich, animated multimedia an everyday part of the online experience," said Paul Maritz, group vice president of the platforms group at Microsoft. Content authors will be able to embed their current VRML models inside ActiveVRML as well as image, sound and video files in standard formats. Since ActiveVRML is a completely open format and is easy for authoring tools vendors to support, content authors can look forward to a wide choice of professional authoring tools supporting ActiveVRML next year. * The VRML beta 1.0 for Internet Explorer 2.0 can be downloaded from the Windows home page on the Web at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows. * Microsoft has distributed the beta version of the ActiveVRML specification to select developers and industry participants. The beta specification on its Microsoft Internet Information Server Web page (http://www.microsoft.com/intdev/tech.htm) * The complete press release for the ActiveVRML announcement can be found on the Windows page on the World Wide Web at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows - in the News & Events folder. *********************************************************** B3. MICROSOFT SHIPS BETA VERSIONS OF POPULAR INTERNET EXPLORER WEB BROWSER FOR WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION, WINDOWS 3.1, MACINTOSH REDMOND, Wash. - Dec. 7 - Microsoft has released beta versions of its popular Microsoft Internet Explorer browsing software for the Windows NT(TM) Workstation, Windows 3.1 and Macintosh(R) platforms. The new versions include a number of advanced features already found in Internet Explorer version 2.0 for Windows 95 and demonstrate Microsoft's commitment to open and cross-platform support of the Internet for all users. "Customers want a cross-platform solution," said Brad Silverberg, senior vice president of the personal systems division at Microsoft. "We're excited to bring the advanced technologies of Internet Explorer 2.0 to our cross-platform customers." Internet Explorer is the fastest growing Web browsing software in the industry, commanding 30 percent of the Windows 95 market in less than 90 days after the release of version 1.0. Internet Explorer 2.0 for Windows 95 is widely available free of charge over the Internet. The new beta versions are currently in limited testing and are scheduled to be widely available early next year. *********************************************************** B4. HP AND MICROSOFT TO IMPROVE INTERNET PRINTING PALO ALTO, Calif. - Dec. 11, 1995 - Hewlett-Packard Company today announced an agreement with Microsoft Corporation to improve printing from the Internet. HP and Microsoft will work together to develop open, nonproprietary printing standards for HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the language used by content providers to develop their World Wide Web sites. These HTML printing extensions will allow users to print information in the same context-rich format in which it was originally designed. Printing from the Internet is part of a broad HP strategy to support this trend. Distribute-and-print is a powerful alternative to the outdated print-and-distribute model in which an information creator prints a document, photocopies it and then manually distributes it via interoffice mail, the postal service or overnight delivery services. HP will develop performance improvements for HP printers that, along with the new HTML extensions, will give users better Internet printing capabilities, including: * Selective printing -- Extensions to the HTML language will enable users to print only the portions of a document or Web page that they need. * Faster printing -- Users will be able to print text, graphics and photographs faster than they can today. * More accurate formatting -- Today, when rendered on high-resolution (300-600 dots per inch) printing devices, Internet documents often suffer line breaks, page breaks and other formatting problems. HP and Microsoft will work together to develop HTML enhancements that will offer better document formatting for viewing and printing. * Improved graphics printing -- Users will be able to reproduce an original image accurately, whether it is black and white or color. *********************************************************** B5. MICROSOFT PREVIEWS INTERNET DIGITAL SIGNATURE INITIATIVE TO 150 ISVs REDMOND, Wash., - Dec. 7 - At the Internet Control Developers' Workshop on December 6, Microsoft proposed to the top 150 software companies in the world, an Internet digital signature initiative which provides a safer environment for executable code on the Internet. To address concerns about potentially malicious code or viruses, this technology will enable users to verify that a program's integrity is free of third-party tampering. Browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer will be equipped with the ability to automatically download applications from a list of vendors approved by the user. If the author is not on the user's pre-approved list, the browser can display the signature of the executable code and allow users to make an informed decision on whether to proceed with the download. The technology will be an open, proposed specification available to the entire Internet community. In addition, as part of the Open Process Design Review, Microsoft will host a digital signature design preview in January to solicit feedback from the Internet community. *********************************************************** B6. MICROSOFT EXTENDS UNIMODEM TO SUPPORT VOICE MODEMS FOR WINDOWS 95 REDMOND, Wash - Dec. 13 - Microsoft announced it has added voice support for the Unimodem driver in Windows 95. Microsoft is making the new Unimodem V driver available to developers and end users without charge over the Internet and leading online services. The enhanced driver makes it faster and easier for developers to create superior Windows 95-based communication applications that use both voice modems and the rich communications platform provided by Windows 95. Unimodem -- the universal modem driver and telephony service provider for the Windows operating system - already supports hundreds of the most popular fax/modems. Included in Unimodem V are the features requested most often by customers to support voice modems, including wave playback and record to/from the phone line, wave playback and record to/from the handset, and support for speakerphones, caller I.D., distinctive ringing and call forwarding. Unimodem now supports the most popular voice modems on the market. The Unimodem V driver software for Windows 95 is now available to download from the Internet at no charge at the Microsoft Internet Information Server Web home page located at http://www.microsoft.com/windows. It is also available through MSN(TM), The Microsoft Network, and other online services. Microsoft plans to integrate the Unimodem V driver software in future versions of Windows. *********************************************************** B7. MICROSOFT AND SPYGLASS ANNOUNCE CROSS-PLATFORM INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES REDMOND, Wash. - Dec. 7 - Microsoft and Spyglass Inc. jointly announced that Spyglass is supporting the Windows-based Internet platform, a broad range of open technologies detailed at Microsoft's Internet strategy conference, to enhance its cross-platform client and server products for the Internet. The agreement will make it faster and easier for developers, Web publishers and consumers to take advantage of next-generation Web capabilities. The agreement broadens and extends an existing relationship between the two companies. Under the agreement, Spyglass will enhance its popular Spyglass Mosaic(TM) Web browser - available for UNIX(R), Macintosh(R)and Windows operating systems - with support for OLE Controls, Visual Basic(R)Script and the latest World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) HTML extensions. Spyglass will also include support for key Microsoft server technologies, such as secure transaction technology (STT) and private communications technology (PCT), in its Spyglass(TM) server software for UNIX and the Windows NT(TM) operating system. *********************************************************** B8. COMPUSERVE AND MICROSOFT COOPERATE ON WEB BROWSER TECHNOLOGY; COMPUSERVE LICENSES INTERNET EXPLORER FROM MICROSOFT COLUMBUS, Ohio - Dec. 7 - CompuServe Incorporated continues to strengthen its commitment to open Internet standards by reaching an agreement with the Microsoft Corporation to license its popular World Wide Web browser, Internet Explorer.

In January, CompuServe customers will be able to download the free customized version of Internet Explorer from CompuServe's home page (http://www.compuserve.com) and SPRY's home page (http://www.spry.com). *********************************************************** B9. MICROSOFT COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE MIGRATION PROGRAM REDMOND, Wash. - Dec. 11 - Microsoft has successfully completed its Enterprise Migration Program, launched in July 1995 to support major resellers in moving their corporate customers to Windows 95 and the Microsoft Office for Windows 95 product suite. Under the program, 13 resellers received intensive pre- and post-launch training, a comprehensive set of migration tools, and enhanced technical support that would help ensure a smooth transition for customers, while helping resellers augment their migration services for Windows 95. Fifty major corporations participated in the Enterprise Migration Program by using the services of participating resellers to migrate 100 to 250 desktops to the combination of Windows 95 and Office for Windows 95. These corporations plan to migrate an additional 60,000 desktops to make the transition during the next 12 months, catalyzed by corporate and reseller participation in the program. "The highly focused and efficient training and migration program provided by Microsoft helped us come up to speed quickly, making us strong allies in the move to Windows 95 and Office for Windows 95," said Luis Curet, regional director of Egghead Software. "We were able to migrate our customers effectively and smoothly, and also create new opportunities for services within key corporate accounts." The program officially completed its charter on Oct. 27, 1995. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ C.

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON WINDOWS 95 This regular feature of WinNews provides help on questions that are frequently asked to our Product Support team. A complete list of these questions can be found at Microsoft website at: http://www.microsoft.com/support/ products/windows95/windows95.htm - or from the many online forums and bulletin boards which support Windows 95. Question 1: If the hard disk light stops blinking during Setup, does it mean my computer stopped responding? Answer: Windows 95 is different from earlier versions of Windows in that it is more tightly integrated with your computer's hardware. One result of this integration is that the communication process between Windows 95 Setup and your computer's hardware can take longer. This delay may make it seem that your computer has stopped responding, but the computer may not actually have stopped responding. If you think your computer has stopped responding, wait several minutes before you turn it off and back on. Question 2: I upgraded my installed versions of MS-DOS and Windows to Windows 95. How can I boot my earlier version of MS-DOS? Answer: Although you cannot run the earlier version of Windows, you can boot the earlier version of MS-DOS. To do so, use the following three steps: 1. Type the following command at an MS-DOS prompt to remove the system, hidden, and read-only attributes of the Msdos.sys file: attrib c:\msdos.sys -s -h -r 2. Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Msdos.sys file and add the following line to the [Options] section of the file: BootMulti=1 3. Restart your computer and press F4 or F8 when you see the "Starting Windows 95" message. Note: When you boot an earlier version of MS-DOS, some of the MS-DOS commands may not work. This behavior occurs because Windows 95 removes some MS-DOS utilities. *********************************************************** C6.
