Oh right, John, you running out of your own hot air so you got to repost stuff? I posted plenty on the OS integration issue, press refs and all. I'm sure in due time you and Reg will come back with the latest truth from microsoft.com. Meanwhile, I'll just wait for the ad hominem du jour from you. Cheers, Dan.

John, "This is must read/must comment stuff! Why has no one commented on this article or is it just to embarrassing for the government controllers on the thread" A Judge does not have to be Mario Andretti in order to preside over a wreckless-driving charge. Isn't it up to the Prosecution/Defense teams to prove its case before the Court? I'd think Reg would be cheering for the fact that the Judge isn't one of the techno-phile minorities. Of course, it would be better if the Judge had preconceived notions that agreed with the Microphiles rather than try to interpret this case from a legal stand-point. Cheers, Norm

John, Excuse me for butting in, but in reading thru the thread the MSFT supporters have made the case (correctly, I think) that the judge isn't clear about whether he wants IE disabled or completely taken out. What I don't understand is why they think this is a good thing... In my opinion, MSFT can't win this case ... it's just a question of how badly they lose and their current strategy puts them on the road to maximum damage. The issue is tying. There's no doubt they're doing it and we all know why. So like Cheryl said the minimum damage they could sustain is if they're forced to offer an OS with IE disabled. What they seem intent on pushing the court to do is to get real mad and make them take IE completely out of the OS ... there must be some deep strategy here that I don't understand ... maybe they just don't like the sound of Win 98 ... the marketing guys figure Win 00 sounds way cooler???? regards, Mike [msft=$75]
