<<TTOSBT: You should go into politics as you really haven't addressed the question. Their is no settlement in the offing. MSFT will be vindicated in the Courts. They did nothing wrong. No harm to the consumer! JFD>> The consumer is harmed when a monopoly goes into a customer and says that if you use Netscape we will limit your supply or raise prices. This is predatory marketing. MSFT did nothing wrong with bundling the browser with the OS IMO but violated the law by leveraging their monopoly position to force their customers to do things that they would otherwise would not have chosen to do. For instance, I have a Gateway PC. Don't you think that the first screen should say something about Gateway instead of Windows. Remember, this is a Gateway product, not a MSFT product. If you cannot see through the companies illegal acts then you still have your blinder on. I can provide many more examples. Bob.
