"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." Sorry Beavis. I didn't mean to intimate that this was my characterization of events. These are words being used by most of the media and many MSFT bashers. The added quotation marks should make it clearer to you as to what I was intimating. "Level playing field", whatever that means, is a term propogated by the media and MSFT's competitors. Not by MSFT. I have never thought the DOJ's "victory" in this case had any real significance other then allowing MSFT bashers a chance to thump their chests and declare victory. MSFT will give them this Pyrrhic victory in exchange for allowing them to keep on making those huge profits. I think MSFT pulled a br'er rabbit manuever. IMO. Message 3009389 JD
