I have a few questions.

1. From the press releases that I have seen, the doj wanted to hold ms in contempt for violation of the consent decree and fine them 1mm per day if they continued to violate it. The judge issued the preliminary injunction due to the doj making a good case and showing that they had a very good chance of winning. How did the judge overstep his bounds? If the information I have is not accurate please post links to verbatim accounts if possible.

2. Does it really matter whether ie is integrated into the os or not?
If microsoft integrates a seperate product into the os for additional leverage is this really any different that requiring a seperate product to be installed with the os? Can they integrate every software product they've ever developed into the os and just because they share code it's all the os?

Perhaps one doesn't need any technical background at all to determine whether they are seperate or not.

There has to be a line somewhere. If ms wins this where will they stop?
