DOJ holds more hidden cards zdnet.com The DOJ has gathered testimony from at least two additional key OEMs -- IBM and Packard Bell/NEC -- regarding specifics of their Market Development Agreements with Microsoft, said sources who claimed to have read the depositions. I'm sure the IBMers, having been ridiculed forever for their doltishness in contrast to the brilliant Bill, were ever so reticent to testify here. One of the possible price incentives Microsoft proposed to OEMs was the inclusion of Internet Explorer 3.0 as the default Internet browser on all copies of Windows 95 shipped. "The original Market Development Agreements were heavily laden with IE requirements," said an official with one OEM, who requested anonymity. "This year, the new [licensing agreements] don't call out the inclusion of IE as a specific way to gain monetary incentives." Nah, now you just have the choice of properly honoring the sacred IE icon, or no license at all. The integrity and uniformity of the Windows Experience must be defended! Cheers, Dan.
