Latest news release from Microsoft that is, John. Sort of looks to me more like that middle finger is being cranked a little higher. Much to your approval, I'm sure. Cheers, Dan.

Microsoft sticks to its guns zdnet.com In its filing, the company also said that it was in full compliance with a court order but accused the DOJ of reversing its position. "Now, the DOJ has apparently recognized that Internet Explorer is an important part of Windows 95, and is arguing that Microsoft should be required to make Windows 95 available with nearly all of Internet Explorer added back into the product, but hidden from customers so that the feature is hard to use," said William H. Neukom, senior vice president for law and corporate affairs at Microsoft. "Microsoft has done precisely what the DOJ requested and what the Court ordered. We have followed both the spirit and the letter of the court's preliminary injunction. Now that the DOJ understands the implications of its prior position, it wants to play by a new set of rules," added Neukom. Sure sounds like that middle finger is being jacked up higher, but that's just me. Cheers, Dan.

John, "From the latest news releases it appears that the DOJ is at odds with the judge." This does not really offer much of a response to my question posed concerning a Judge's 'expertise' in technology. Would Reginald care to enlighten us with an answer to my original question? Cheers, Norm
