Bill & All, background articles on the [latest] Justice Dept investigation Politics play into the case news.com Policing Redmond's rise news.com Apple deal no panacea news.com Industry streams ahead news.com The antitrust maze news.com [Alternatively, you can ignore it unless and until the Justice Dept actually decides on any course of action other than investigatory harassment - pardon me, due diligence. There are just so many aspects of antitrust law that apply vaguely, without good case law, to the software industry and the present situation. For example, the "relevant market" in this instance is difficult enough to define for those in it, let alone the technologically challenged legal beagles of the U.S. gummint. In any event, Microsoft appears to basically keeps its legal nose clean regarding any clear aspects of antitrust law, so either only a peripheral action will be taken, or if anything major is done it would be some attempt to establish "new law", both of which situations favor Microsoft. IMHO] Best regards, Arno
