Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Windows 98
an updated version of Windows 95, the 98 version was originally going to be called Memphis, then Windows 97, but the company was unable to meet the projected release date. Among the new features in Windows 98 are, the Active Desktop, which combines features of Internet Explorer with the operating system (one benefit here is a user has the option of single clicking a mouse to fetch a file or access a Web page). Additional benefits of the newer version are a feature that better utilizes disk space, faster loading of programs, and automatic troubleshooting and maintenance wizards.
