Sun, as usual, you miss the point. Even if IE ships for the MAC, it is Microsoft's contention that integrating most features of IE into Windows adds customer value. E.g. Windows help systems can now be HTML based which allows tighter integration between help systems of different applications. There are many other advantages some of which actually threaten the Windows franchise (i.e. integrating IE could lead to reduced usage of Windows APIs). This fact is totally lost on you, the justice dept and every other Microsoft critic.

"Microsoft must really need qualified programmers. If IE and Windows cannot be separated, they will have trouble delivering IE to Macintosh in the future."

You guys are running off of misinformation. Of course IE can be removed from Windows, but not without removing OS features. An appeals court already decided that.
