Actually, the DOJ made a horrible case

According to ms press releases?

I am not going to post links, for the details of the case are well documented and quite easy to find.

Quite easy to find opinionated press releases.

Would you be pissed off if you had to go to the store and by a seprate winsock to get on the net, but you would not be able to see anything because you forgot to buy your new video drivers for your screen. Once you got your video working, you tried to print my phenominal posts from SI to find oput you had to go by some special drivers for printing. The delivery of a whole product that is easy to use eliminates that type of customer regret.

You can't compare video drivers and printer drivers to a web browser, that is insane. When you buy a printer or a video card, they come with all the required drivers. Some of the more popular ones are supplied with windows.

I still say that it doesn't matter how deeply integrated ie is with windows. The deeper the integration , the harder it will be for ms to separate the two. The question is not if they mixed some code together with ie but if the functions of a web browser are part of the os.
