The conference is comprised mostly of a claque of anti-MSFT types - so what would you expect. The "solution" is utterly ridiculous. It would at best have the DOJ overseeing the split up entities with the same commie like distractive disservice that is expended on the present company. There is no impediment to others in coming up with a better OS. No one wants to bother. The Appeals Court last time warned against DOJ/Courts about getting into the software design business.They will do so again. MSFT will be told to level the playing field vis-a-vis access to hooks into the OS and not to insist on exclusionary contracts. If they go beyond this Jackson will be overturned again. AOL/NSCP thriving and ready to come with new browser technology thereby benefitting the consumer and demonstrating that competition is alive and well. This suit thing is a non-event. This cable-TV thing once again finds Bill gates ahead of the competition by virtue of foresight and prudent stewardship on behalf of the shareholders. He can go any one of 4-5 different ways in this deal. JFD
