Jim, I have read all FQA of WWDC '97 regarding Jobs' stands on the DOJ and Microsoft issue. He insisted that Microsoft shouldn't have had any anti-trust problem and provided an example of when he established Apple, IBM was huge enough to be an monopoly in computer field. However, his guess in '97 was wrong, Microsoft has fought the anti-trust issue not only with DOJ, but also with 13 states. I don't know if Jobs still believe Microsoft has no anti-trust suspect. From the latest news, it seems DOJ may let Microsoft publish their Win98. Hope Gates thinks thoroughly for Microsoft's future by promoting alternative OS to reduce Microsoft's trouble in the future. Same as for Dell, Compaq, and Gateway 2000, they should chage their sole OS sales policy and get involved in Apple's world. DEC and Tandem acquired by Compaq is the best example to explain that it is still seriously skeptical about Wintel's monopoly status. Phil
