Dear Windows 98 Beta Testers,
We have taken the incredibly fast feedback we received on 1720 as well as
fixes that were already in the works and we are closer than ever to RC1.
We have implemented some core fixes which should help Power Management,
Multimedia and Dial-Up Networking. We would like all of you to download this
build if possible and give it a thorough run through.
Note: You do not have to download this build to stay active; this is an
optional download.
