<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 that1 the OEM makes after installing Windows should be considered an act on behalf of their customers.

I can agree with some kind of broad action like that. Where there may be problems is if the DOJ insists on dictating minute detail of what MSFT must do. Witness the last court order which told MSFT to remove all files that ship with Explorer. Well that included update of some files that were needed for W95 normal operation. What the court order did was tell MSFT to break the operating system. MSFT happily complied with one of there undesirable options.

Regards,

Bob
