If it is so easy to substitute Netscape for Internet Explorer on a Wintel clone, why were they so clumsy in court?

Hal

PS: Isn't this where Microsoft tried to foist a fakey time edited video on the court and when caught had to actually attempt to do it manually in front of the judge?


Pretty close, except that the video in court had nothing to do with the ease of loading Netscape

and the demo you refer to was done by Lawrence Lessig to demonstrate how easy it was, in his opinion, to separate msie and o/s functions. You remember Lessig don't you, he was the one removed as Commissioner upon allegations of prejudice, by the Court of Appeals.

Asside from that you're pretty much correct.
