They are in favor of increasing choice by allowing the OEMs to set the startup screen and initialization process as they see fit. OEMs can already add whatever they want. Microsoft quite reasonably does not allow OEMs to redesign the OS or remove components. Whatever you think of adding Netscape to the Windows 98 CD, it certainly doesn't prevent Microsoft from creating products. True, but the preferred "remedy" of the doj - removing all internet-related features - does. All Microsoft has to do to win the case is show that putting in internet features improves the product. Conversely, for doj to win they have to prove that putting in internet features serves no useful purpose - that there is no consumer benefit.
