<<What happen if Microsoft decides to block all AOL users from access their website or Microsoft decides to make Windows98 systematically breaks AOL softwares and see how many will scream "murder">> Microsoft already did that. Users who went from Win 3.11 to first release of Win95 had their AOL disable. Justice Department did nothing. AOL faced a loss of millions of customers and MSFT twisted their arm into using IE as the default browser with the AOL banner on it (it still showed up on web servers as IE). That's how IE went from a 1 percent share to 40 percent overnight! They used AOL to threaten Netscape! Yes, the abused now is the abuser and AOL will have their day in court if they do not believe. Pay heed AOL investors! Do not be as dumb as the MSFT investors and put a lot of your $$ into AOL! Don't count on that AOL monopoly to squash competition and kill competitive innovation! AOL is not blocking any internet traffic from their systems. Microsoft is stealing an innovation and calling it their own. You should watch your language before you get booted off SI. -Bill_H
