thanks, gott. in the link you provided i easily found the quoted article. here's the excerpt... and the gospel according to gates:

"The DOJ scheme also effectively imposes a ban
of up to 10 years on the addition of any
significant new end-user features to Windows.
New features must be provided on an a la carte
basis and priced separately to computer
manufacturers. Provisions like these would kill
innovation in the OS--and impair the livelihoods of
the tens of thousands of independent software
developers who depend on constant innovation in
the OS to make their products more attractive.
Updates to Windows and Office technologies that
could, for example, protect against attacks such
as the Love Bug virus would also be much harder
for computer users to obtain."
