Otto,

>>Trial? Java and AOL are just two reasonable doubt cracks in the government's case against a company whose dominance is tied to an operating system that could become superceded by Java in five years. Not likely, but like I said, a reasonable [doubt] possibility.

Isn't the case about how MSFT has acted and not how it might act 5 years down the line? One could also project that MSFT will replace UNIX entirely and so we should add a server OS monopoly to the current charges of a desktop OS monopoly. How can the future have any bearing on this case?

Cheers,

Norm
