Microsoft Changes PR, But Story Is The Same techweb.com It has not been the software giant's finest hour. Apologetic but believing themselves right, a cadre of Microsoft executives fanned across the country last week to say, "We've behaved badly." But they said so without retreating from their position that Internet Explorer and Windows 95 are one and the same. Well, shoot, Microsoft is always right. Pretty confusing going through all this contriteness when the truth is on your side. Belfiore said Microsoft will continue to press its legal position. "We should be able to define the Windows standard," said Belfiore. But if the government wins and dictates what can and cannot be in an operating system, "we may have to build and test a version of Windows no one will use," he added. "That slows innovation." On the other hand, all those startups being able to function with a little less fear and trepidation about that inevitable summons to Redmond, and the subsequent wait to be informed if the verdict is "embrace", "demolish", or not yet worth the trouble- that might speed innovation. Who can say? Cheers, Dan.
