Maybe you are too much of a Microsoft fan. What a bully that company is. Try to force Compaq and Micron Elec. to install IE or else ... This company simply is trying to monopolize the software industry and stifle fair competiton and technical creativities. Who said life is fair ;-)) GL

How about an explanation for Microsoft's treatment of Compaq as described in the Seattle Times article? How about Gateway and Micron, also described further down in the article? Seriously, I'd like to hear what you think of these incidents. They seem like pretty sh-tty treatment to me. I know you think IE for WIndows is not a separate product. But what about IE for the Mac? Is that a separate product? If IE for Mac is a separate product, then what is it about IE for Windows that makes it not a separate product while IE for the Mac is a separate product? Is there some code in IE for the Mac that is not in IE for Windows? What about IE for Unix? Is that not a separate product, too? Why is the GM of software making ashtrays for Toyotas? Here's the SI posting with the link to the Seattle TImes article, in case you missed it. exchange2000.com

Good ad hominem, Supersonics. Just for that, I got to take back that "sholders of giants" thing, you don't see much when you're up to your neck in a cesspool, and the scenery usual isn't very good around there anyway. Needless to say, I have never sold Microsoft short. Not now, either. As to who cares, it seems that Microsoft's contract negotiators did, but we all know we should leave the lawyers out of this. I'd venture a guess that the judge might care too. Hope you guys are all enjoying the integrity and uniformity of the Windows experience.
