...also spend some of the week batting back accusations that the firm?s new Windows 98 operating system was ?undercooked? and rushed to market before it was ready. Though the software has been selling briskly, critics have been compiling an increasingly lengthy list of bugs in the program. Gates, typically, is ready on both fronts with Microsoft?s new ?gentle? strategy: the firm plans to give away the update for free at microsoft.com starting Aug. 18, helping to squelch complaints about the new software.
