Bob, >>You'r mistaking me for a Microphile. I was being general in my use of Microphile so do not take it personally. >>I just think that the remedy the feds are seeking in this lawsuit is not appropriate (forcing MSFT to include the Netscape browser with W98) Yeah, I am not sure what to make of that inclusion concept either. Then again maybe its simply what the DOJ calls "aggressive negotiating". I do however, think that Microsoft should have no say in what is intalled/configured after the OEM takes possession of Windows. Windows is an "add-on" to the systems that the OEM sells and any configuration that the OEM makes after installing Windows should be considered an act on behalf of their customers. To use the car analogy; FORD MOTORS buys an engine from Motorworks as is, tunes some for California, some for Mexico, some for Canada, etc. All different configurations of the original OEM engine purchased. Motorworks' involvement ends with the purchase orders as should any OEM supplier. Cheers, Norm
