This is happening because of the DOJ intervention and shows clearly that the Justice strategy of
focusing light on the OEM contracts is appropriate.>

No, I don't so. I do think it is good that the OEM's can ship thier browser of choice, but the
DOJ's actions go considerably farther than that. Forced bundling of a competitor's product,
forced dismantling of MSFT's product to the point where it would not boot, the government
micromanaging of the software design.... These things are ridiculous


Once again, you change the subject. Dermot's point is still just as relevant whether you think the DOJ's actions go too far or not. Don't you think that the timing of Gateway 2000, NEC, and IBM's moves to load Netscape's browser has at least something to do with DOJ pressure? And isn't this going to result in better choices for consumers?
