Hello Dr. Don't let that fellow from Dell fool you.He's really just telegraphing Mike Homer @Netscape that he is willing to buy Navigator.He just wants the same price he is getting from MSFT;-).There is a lot of reaction to the events in Washington, DC.The only fact is the bundling/integrating of the MSFT OS system windows and its successors NT incl. will not be allowed to continue in any form or guise.Now if you don't think that is a watershed event you are refusing to acknowledge the logic of the federal strategy in this case.The lawyers at the DOJ will simply not allow any corp. to dominate unfairly and stifle competition in this magnificant , phenomenal new marketplace.Netscape just happens to be the favored party in this case. Will the internet browser in fact become the defacto OS of the Networked paradigm?Leading Computer manufacturers like Dell may suggest business as usual.But you know the real truth is that the boxmakers and the ISP's are privately delighted with the events.But, as Mr Nader has pointed out, they are still afraid to publicly offend the vengeful giant.
