Hi Hazem- AG Suit Possible outcomes... Your post made me think about the possible outcomes: They prohibit the sale of Win98 in the state. So the manufacturers make the purchase in a different state. Seems pretty easy with the web as a mechanism. They prohibit the installation in the state. This just makes raises another competition issue. If some manufacturers can now sell more of their pc's because their operations are in a state that is Win98 friendly, isn't this unfair competition? I would think the manufacturers would appeal to the federal government. They prohibit the use of Win98 in their state. Business that cannot now use Win98 files a suit because now they can't compete with a business in a different state that can use Win98. These outcomes suggest the Attorney General's actions may create competition in OS software but reduce competition for all businesses that use Windows, compete nationally and are not in Win98 friendly states. Jon :)
