According to US trade newspaper PC Week, the promise of tight integration between Internet Explorer (IE) 4.0 and the operating system - known by its Memphis codename or as Windows 9x - seems to be slowing progress of the OS. The Memphis beta is to be delayed until at least April, according to the report. Microsoft had previously planned a beta for the first quarter of 1997.
Similarly, a Wall Street Journal report claims Microsoft is already telling major customers not to expect to see Memphis on Christmas 1997 PCs.
