Dan, MSFT probably wishes that Netscape & Jim Barksdale would just disappear, but disabling IE, under the present circumstances, is the best they can hope for. They are facing an injuction & want to show that they are in compliance. If they can do that & still ship IE with every copy of Windows software, they haven't really lost much. The icon is a visibility issue, I really don't know where that one is going, but keeping their code on the disk is, in my opinion, the big enchilada for MSFT. I don't know much about the judge in this case. If he thinks de-installing software by "disabling" it is equivalent to forcing a washing machine company to cease shipping detergent as part of an enforcement of a tying claim, consumers are in real trouble. cheers, cherylw
