I agree, Darrell, that it seems as though MSFT has been.....
.....If the landscape looks more saturated
with MSFT, then DOJ will continue the chase. If less,
then DOJ will move on to other things, but MSFT will have
to fend off its foes in the marketplace. Will anything
that DOJ can do now have an affect on MSFT in marketplace
in the interim?

It seems to me, the only real threat is
if they [the Department of Justice] bring a new suit regarding Win98, and call for
an injunction WRT distribution, and this in someway slows

........WinNT5 is a much
more important concern, and if delay of Win98 [by the Department of Justice]in any way
slowed procurement decisions for WinNT5......

yesterday.
