It's wrong, because you know as well as I do that computer companies like CPQ have no choice but to install Win 95, because that's what customers want. For MSFT to tell them that they can't have the Netscape icon put on the screen and they HAVE to have the IE icon on their screen, otherwise they will not sell their software to them, well - that's just an abuse of monopolistic power. Don't get me wrong, though. I think for the DOJ to make MSFT keep IE seperate from Win 98 is plain stupidity. The DOJ or any other Gov't office has no right to dictate what upgrades companies make to their products. It's stupidity on the DOJ's part to restrain innovation. They should focus on the abuse of monopolistic power not on punishing MSFT for being highly profitable.
