MSFT and DOJ agree, removal of ICON satisfys the consent decree. biz.yahoo.com The new options, approved by the DOJ and the Court, are: (1) As the DOJ requested, computer makers may install Windows 95, but delete the Microsoft Internet Explorer icons and a small number of files that are deleted when a customer runs the Windows ''Add/Remove'' utility. Removing these files will impair a few features of Windows 95, all of which are related to Internet access. (2) The parties have also agreed upon a second alternative, proposed by Microsoft, that also removes the Internet Explorer icons, but leaves all Internet Explorer software in the operating system. Since all Windows 95 files get installed under this option, fewer features of the operating system are impaired. JD
