>>> 1.) You don't have to show preference to one company in order to attempt to legislate the
market.

I *did* qualify my statement.

>>> 2.) The DOJ/courts are showing preference to MSFT competitors. At no other time in US history
has the courts attempted to design a product for a vendor, against its will, in a technology it does
not understand.

Are you sure of this statement? I sure am no legal expert,and I suspect that you are overstepping your own understanding of the legal precedent with this statement, unless if you are simply quoting someone else to whom you make no reference. Also, inferring that they do not understand the technology is a blanket statement that I don't think is true. Don't you think that there are any software developers on the DOJ team? It seems clear that they have a pretty sophisticated understanding of the issues, and probably have a reasonable understanding of what a DLL is, etc.

>>> 3.) There is significant demand for a "whole product". Read "Inside the Tornado," or just ask the
guys at the local software store/OEM. People want a combined solution.

Yes, but there is significant demand for a non-integrated product as well.
