Good to see the attorney in question is from Seattle! I think Microsoft is letting the Judge know that if he harms Microsoft, he will be setting a precedent they will not let him live down.

The Appeals court is predisposed but bypassable, John. They don't have the final word, no matter what. A lot of concrete has been poured.

Re: AOL 5.0 It took me well over an hour to unsnarl my machine after I upgraded from AOL 4.0 to AOL 5.0. I use a cable modem and only connect to AOL via TCP/IP rather than its dialup service. I was amazed at the way AOL trampled over the network settings on my machine while being completely oblivious to the actual environment I was running. This is without question one of the most user-hostile programs I've ever encountered and I can well imagine the non-computer expert being hopelessly unable to cope with the resulting damage that this installation would cause. If MSFT released an 'upgrade' that behaved this way the press would have a field day with it. Amazing that AOL can get away with this with nary a peep out of the media.
