MSFT has capitulated and has agreed not to require OEM's to include the IE Icon as part of any licensing agreement which is what the DOJ and Netscape warriors wanted. Now that the playing field is level you still complain that MSFT has a gun to the OEMs head. Please explain. MSFT has capitulated? They agreed to remove one friggin file C:\Windows\Desktop\IE.icon - BFD. I would say you guys won. Especially since the idiot DOJ think they also won. Maybe they're playing dumb. They require it by providing OS upgrades on it. Try installing some software that doesn't require IE loaded. I'm sure in your world the playing field is fair, but I also think your universe thought it was a coincidence of Netscape's announcement on the same day as the agreement. Cutting back on Java development probably isn't significant either. I don't understand why Dan bothers argueing with your portfolio. Please explain. Mr. B
