I noticed that the judge was referring to a Washington Post article interviewing AOL chief. I was expecting something like this from AOL as they are in a bind. They want IE but own Netscape -- what a dilema?? So what is there to do? Easy--start saying that they don't intent to compete with MSFT. That is, provide more ammunition to the DOJ (and judge) because it appeared that MSFT's case was gaining momentum. If I am AOL - I would have to make sure that i do what i can to stop this from happening. Do an interview with a paper. We know AOL wants MSFT to lose because they also have MSN and MSN Internet Access services which compete against AOL. NO SURPRISE! ANOTHER CASE OF A COMPETITOR USING THE DOJ AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!!! AOL is run by smart management (i would do the same). Unfortunately DOJ is run is run by a bunch dummies who don't know what is happening. If the DOJ wins trial -- stock will go up anyways because uncertainty is out of the way. Include the netscape browser with Windows --Big Deal? I say stock goes up even if this happens.
