I just skimmed the DOJ's brief, and I don't see Word One about Windows 98. usdoj.gov The basic relief requested by the United States in this case is an order requiring Microsoft to comply with the Final Judgment, stop compelling OEMs to license Internet Explorer 3.0, and not compel OEMs to license Internet Explorer 4.0 as a condition of licensing Windows 95. Another point worth making: to the extent the judge's order applies to IE 4, it is merely preserving the status quo, if the DOJ's assertions that Microsoft does not presently compel OEMs to take IE 4 is true.

Gerald, << show me the language in the judge's order that says they can't integrate IE with Windows 98 >> .... from the Reuters press release, Judge Jackson (quote): " .. shall cease and desist from the practise of licensing the use of any MSFT PC operating system software (including Windows 95 or any successor version thereof), on the condition ... that the licensee also license and pre-install any MSFT Internet browser software ..." Seems pretty clear ... my target is $75, not just because of Janet Reno, although that's certainly part of it. regards, Mike
