RTev: 1. You are a poor reader. ... Interesting ad-hominem argument, John. I suppose I've posted enough summaries of news articles here to allow our readers to judge if it's true. But who's really missing the point here? The two articles just posted by t2 show what Microsoft's lawyers are trying to do in this phase of the case. They argue with some success that the AOL purchase of Netscape shows that the Netscape browser still poses a significant competitive threat to the Windows platform. You did not post a link to the full article, but the portion you quoted in your message does not support that argument. I agree that IE4 is a better browser overall than Netscape 4.x. And although I don't use it yet for reasons that have are unimportant here, I'm sure IE5 is even better. And it also seems obvious that Mozilla is not keeping up with the development of IE, since they are so far away from releasing a Gecko-based version of their browser. All of those are interesting points, but they're not points that the MS lawyers would wish to make.
