D-Day Looms for Redmond

Federal and state regulators are expected to announce antitrust action against the company on Thursday, one day before it is scheduled to ship its Windows 98 operating system software.

The move is expected to be announced at a joint news conference in Washington, DC, with US Attorney General Janet Reno, US Assistant Attorney General Joel Klein, and a few state attorneys general from the 19 or more involved, a source close to the case said.

I wonder if Janet Reno will be bringing A1-Abrams tanks.

re I would still probably choose Office, because I happen to like it -- but I would rather have several vendors to choose from than only one

Ironically, I am very much against this lawsuit farce, and I don't use Office, because I do have a choice, and you do to. I use Corel WordPerfect Suite 7, and I love it and always have.

To try to claim you don't have a choice is simply untrue (unless you're incredibly ignorant).
