Top Ten ANTI-WINDOWS Lawsuits You know, we're getting really tired of doing lawsuit-based top ten lists, but this week's Justice Department suit against Microsoft is just too good to pass up. So here we go again, with the top ten other items that will have to be removed from Windows 98 if the legal beagles have their way... 10. Recycle bin: infringes on Rubbermaid's line of waste receptacles. 9. Icons: the Russian Orthodox Church has been making icons for 2,000 years. 8. DOS prompt: unfair competition with Unix. 7. Windows Explorer: Ford claims likely product-line confusion with its sport-utility vehicles. 6. Desktop wallpaper: unfair to Taylor Wall Coverings. 5. CD player control: makes your PC the world's most expensive CD player; Bang & Olufssen claims that trade as its own. 4. Volume control: infringes on Radio Shack's knob and slider business. 3. Calculator: competes with Hewlett-Packard. 2. Minesweeper: undermines U.S. Navy recruiting programs. 1.
