What font was this?

Does anyone know the font Microsoft used for the Windows splash screens like in the Windows 98 splash screen?

Look for MS Fonts.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

In this case, I don't see how that information is helpful.  Please don't post if you have nothing useful to add to the conversation.  It just takes up space in the topic.  Then some moderator-type guy comes along and posts something like this, taking up more space....

Um, maybe Google images could help you there, as I don't have much clue as what your talking about. It would help us all if you posted a pic...

Reopened by the topic owner's request. Actually, somebody else reopened it, but forgot to bump it, so it'd close straightaway anyhow.

Re: What font was this?

You might find WhatTheFont helpful in identifying a font, although honestly I've never had much luck with it. Oh, and this might be helpful as well.

Re: What font was this?

Franklin Gothic Heavy, the font I have been using in NTSoft's logo and stuff, is the closest match to what I've been looking for. Is this the actual font or just a clone with a striking resemblence?
