John Dowd: I think we disagree on 'should IE be integrated within win9x'. I think MSFT should have sold the product as a package: 1. win9x without IE. 2. win9x with IE. How is IE different from other application package? Isn't it strange that 'IE" is the only application that MSFT wants to be integrated. MSFT is in the process of making nothing will work unless IE is integrated. In other words, nothing will work if MSFT does not see it should. This will not fly no matter how big and powerful you are. MSFT will not be allowed to redefine the rule as it likes. Don't hide behind the banner of 'free enterprise'. The intention of MSFT is shown now that MSFT said 'things may not work with IE removed'.
