You cna't be serious Dan. The judge (or mroe accurately, his technical clerk) did not "uninstall" IE in 90 seconds. I gave you a list of nearly one hundred DLL's that shared dependenies with other OS functions (like the active movie stuff that interprets popular graphics). What the judge did was "disabled" IE. The DOJ petition did not request the disabling of IE, so this is irrelavant. It is also irrelevant due to the fact that none of this has anything to with using NSCP instead of IE, therefore has nothing to do with the isse of Anti-Trust or the breach of contract that was put to the Court in the first place. I guarantee you that the judge could not strip out those 100 .Dll's in 90 seconds, 90 minutes, or maybe even 90 hours, and still get the Os to work properly. Win 95 has 14 million lines of code, that is a lot of potential interdependenies to make if you really wanted to. Imagine a programmer going through 14 million lines of legal citation in 90 seconds saying I have extracted 4 cases of irrelevance.
