Dear Barry: As an intelligent person you don't understand this because the case vs. MSFT is not being brought by intelligent people but rather by political hacks. What MSFT said in their heavy handed letter was that CPQ could not remove the Exploreer when they placed alt. NSCP on the desktop. It is just like when you buy a computer and alter the mother board - in many cases that voids the contract of warranty. In this case what CPQ was doing was a breach of the contract w/ MSFT. A contract that they had entered into with their eyes wide open. I will grant you as I have above that the letter from MSFT to CPQ was heavy handed and could have been writte with a more delicate and instructive touch but it was not incorrect from a point of contractual obligations on the part of both parties. For furrther erudition I refer the following as a great exposition of the entire matter. microsoft.com JF DOwd
