I think the point that Justin was trying to make is that it is clear what the judge intends to mean by "removal". Anyone with even a reasonable technical background knows that it can be done fairly easily. It is just that MSFT does not want to do it, and thus will do anything it can to avoid doing so, such as what it is doing now: trying to be cute and saying that it does not know what the judge intends, and that it has to have specific instructions specifying exactly which files need to be removed. What the judge needs to do is come up with a simple, general statement of what he means, and leave it up to MSFT to choose the actual files to which it applies. Something along the lines of my previous post: exchange2000.com

But John, I know facts are troubling things and all that, but I, personally, gave you two sets of files that apparently will solve the problem. One according to the judge, another offered by Mr. Cole from Microsoft. Neither of these solutions is quite as enjoyable as the raised middle finger compliance measures, I know, and not what I'd suggest, but both likely to satisfy the judge and leave Microsoft free to argue for the allegedly inevitable reversal on appeal, without the bad press and possible fines hanging over them. But Bill's bigger than all that, we know, and you heartily approve. Of course. Cheers, Dan.
