More from the DOJ: This little bit comes from usdoj.gov . Just an excerpt, but it shows how changes in the OS can be and are being used to hurt competitors: ..... From: Jonathan Roberts Sent: Saturday, July 19, 1997 12:57 PM To: Bill Gates; Moshe Bunie; Paul Maritz Cc: Jim Allchin (Exchange) Subject: RE: idea .... 2) How to make Windows 98 the optimal IE experience? ... ...but a die hard 16MB Nav user is hard to move. If they access help or an HTML page while in Explorer on in My Computer they will be loading the IE HTML rendering engine and significantly increasing the working set. This means that in many scenarios, the 16MB Nav user will have a much slower experience with 98 than 95.

This is evidence that at least one reason for putting IE into the OS was for the purpose of hurting Netscape.
