Gerald, Microsoft states that removing IE takes 228 files. Yet the 'uninstall' function tested by the Judge removes only a handful of files. Here's the part that leaps out at my non-law-school-but-I-know-some-lawyers eyes: The uninstall function is a part of Windows 95, a Microsoft product. How strong is the argument that since Microsoft's OS treats IE as a small set of files for 'removal' purposes that IE is only that small set as far as Microsoft is concerned? Basically, how much trouble is Microsoft in because their OS says "Internet Explorer has been successfully removed?" at the end of the uninstall function?
