Good idea in MSFT doing those volunatary changes in OEM agreements. They have learned the bad lessons of trying to fight at every turn in the courts. The costs of fighting everything in court is not worth it, even if they expect to win. Good PR is the best way to approach this. The competitive landscape has changed significantly in the meantime given the dot.com bubble bursting. The bottom line is that people like Microsoft software. Give the PC makers move freedom; no reason for the restrictions. In addition, it makes the bargaining position of MSFT much stronger because they have basically complied with the court orders unlike the old games of offering a non-working version of Windows95 in response to Jackson's order. Good move by the MSFT mananagement. Change that. Great move by MSFT management!
