Agreed. This will all be moot by the time Windows98 ships. In the "worst-case" scenario, MSFT will agree to ship a "deintegrated Win98" which will rot on the shelves while their marketing assures that consumers will demand the integrated version. "Consumer choice" will thus be preserved. What folks overlook is that Windows95 will be dead and buried within 30 days of Windows98 shipping. Any legal deliberations over Win95 are essentially irrelevant at this point. Might as well be discussing Windows 3.11 (which MSFT still sells).
