<I got 124 megs and Communicator loads up fast!>

Good for you, but the average consumer has 32 megabytes.

<DOJ asked for a third browser next to IE and Navigator,so DOJ is making suggestions to level the playing field.>

How is that leveling the playing field? NSCP currently has majority market share. By forcing MSFT to assist them is further distorting the playing field. If anything, the smallest and next smallest browser should be the direct beneficiaries of the DOJ's requested welfare. Buttttttt,,, that would not happen due to the fact that NSCP has to get the requisite return on thier lobying dollars. Wouldn't it be funny if all of this backfired on NSCP and Opera and RCM's Financial browser were the packages mandated by a judge to be distributed by MSFT instead of NSCP NAV because of thier current dominant market share. It could happen, you never know will happen when you put your future in a judges hands. ACtive X powered financial browsers for anyone?:-)

Whoever does not get included in the corporate welfare package suggested by the DOJ should sue them for anti-competitive practices in the free market. How dare they insist that the current browser leader be mandated by law to recieve additional market share? The smaller guys should have a litigous field day.
