I showed a copy of the "final judgement" to my legal council (a close friend for over 20 years) and here is what he has to say about todays events:

"Microsoft Corp. has clearly violated the terms of the contract as set fouth by the United States government and the corporation. It should not be surprising to you or myself that Microsoft through its monopolistic actions has tried every which way it can to dominate the browser market and at the expense of Netscape Inc. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand why Microsoft gave away its IE browser
free of charge with its Windows 95 operating system. With Windows 95 O/S installed in over 85% of the desktop workstations around the world and with very little to no competition, Microsoft did not need to give away IE explorer free of charge...unless their intent was only one...to drive Netscape out of business. Microsoft knowingly violated the terms of the contract. The federal court in the United States will side with the Department of Justice. Microsoft will HAVE to pay the $1 million fine for every day it violated the contract."

That was a quote from my legal council upon comment on todays action by the DOJ. I concur with his statement.
