Mr. RTev, The problem is that new charges of antitrust violations came up almost as soon as the consent decree was signed. Now they're back in court. That statement is not correct. The DOJ had to change their charge against MSFT since the appeals court said MSFT has the right to innovate their product. The original charge was MSFT put IE into their OS with the purpose of putting Netscape out of business. The major part of the DOJ case was based on the integration issue. They had to modified the charge at the last minute or not go forward. The judge allowed the modification to the case. The judge could have allowed MSFT a delay to further prepare their case but refused. The DOJ had really no choice but to change the charge at the last minute. Thank You JK
