Punko, Re:IE. This is getting too silly. Remember the movie "FARGO", how something so innocently minor becomes a major crime. MSFT did it beautifully and all they needed to do to DOJ was:"Sorry, I interpret the order wrong, here is the fine." I still think MSFT will come out way ahead by stalling NSCP with the trick even after paying $1M/day, providing MSFT settle it with 'limited liability'. NO, it has to be the KING and do whatever it damned well please. It declares: "nothing will be operable unless we allows it to and that is what the customers want". Making money is not fun enough for MSFT any more. It is too easy. Easier than collecting tax. Now, MSFT wants immortal, name recognition for 'technical supremacy'. Well, the HDD/memory industry does rely on MSFT to the rescue.
