AT&T-TCI 'good for Microsoft.'

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Corp. CEO Bill Gates has commented Microsoft's new Windows 98 operating system software will benefit from AT&T's decision to merge with Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI). Gates, speaking at the launch of Windows 98, noted the combination would lead to the consolidation of computers and television and a boost in the roll out of cable Internet access and high-speed telephone lines known as DSL. Windows 98, according to Gates, blends well with high-speed Internet connections, the kind of technology that the AT&T-TCI deal could bring to more residential customers.
