Judge Expresses Doubt About Microsoft's Position. via Wired News >Microsoft's position has stirred up a reaction ranging from outrage to ridicule. On one end of the spectrum, the Justice Department marched back to Jackson and demanded that the company be found in contempt of his order and be fined US$1 million a day until it complies by offering a meaningful choice for computer-makers. At the other extreme, browser rival Netscape has begun publicizing instructions on how to rid a hard drive of Internet Explorer. At today's hearing, Jackson himself expressed doubts about Microsoft's statements. He said that on Thursday he had a court clerk walk him through the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 3.02 from his PC and noted the whole process took about 90 seconds. Far from being broken, he said, "Windows 95 functioned flawlessly" after the removal. Jackson said the program could be reloaded with equal ease in what appeared to be a very simple process. "If it's not that simple, I'd like to have it refuted," he told Microsoft representatives at the hearing.< wired.com They can't be this dumb, can they? soup
