Don't expect MSFT to stop at the browser issue either, they will try the same tactics on every NSCP revenue opportunity if the Justice suit fails.I don't think you appreciate the extent of Bill's animus toward NSCP--this is a battle of extinction I think they have moved on to Sun. MH #0

>Gerald, I would remind you that Justice is attempting to prevent Browser/Operating >system integration or "bundling" if you prefer,by MSFT Corp., hardly trivial. Assuming they suceed and get everything they ask for, how long do you think the relief they obtain is going to be effective? Does it not occur to you that Microsoft will simply speed up Win 98 and conversion over to NT (which is not covered by the Decree)? My point is simply that, if Justice wants to stop Microsoft's IE strategy, they need to come up with a better vehicle than this Consent Decree.
