As I read it, the DOJ case focuses on IE 3.0 and 4.0. Specifically, they claim that IE 3.0 and 4.0 have been marketed as seperate products, which makes them seperate products. For example, when Microsoft adds stuff to NT 4.0, they put out service packs. IE 3.0, on the other hand was sent out on CD-ROMS, bundled with ISPs, distributed to other OS's, it's in a product category on your Web site.....basically, all the things that are done with products, and not with operating system enhancements.

Here's a new one I had not heard before:

But if the Web browser is really part of the operating system, and Internet Explorer 4.0 is really just a beta-release of Windows 98, than the Justice Department doesn't have a case.

Since when is IE 4 "just a beta release of Windows 98"?
