Bob, in a momentarily serious vein, I would direct you to the article in today's NYT, nytimes.com , which I excerpted in 19619. This article addresses the issues of remedies at some length. The particular proposal of distributing Netscape's browser shouldn't be taken as the final word any more than Bill's "We must be free to imitate". The issues are serious, and my small mind always has this problem when people who'll go on about how laughable Microsoft's competition is and what a good and great thing their monopoly is in other contexts suddenly go off in any number of directions when antitrust comes up. At any rate, remedies are all hypothetical at this point. The problem of the Microsoft "monopolistic death grip" on the OEM distribution channel could have other solutions, but Microsoft and friends sure aren't going to discuss the issue if they don't have to. They'd prefer to believe Michael Dell, a totally disinterested observer. Cheers, Dan.
