<Regimond, as is often the case, your arguments miss the point.> More accurately your point misses the argument. The case against MSFT is that of economic damage to the consumer. This is not about liberals, its about the consumer. The case was brought about by undue representation of a small cadre of MSFT competitors. The case itself appears to have no economic merit when examined from a historical perspective.

Every Coke needs a Pepsi? Microsoft obviously has concluded that the DOJ is indeed a very big potential problem for them. Given that, perhaps Microsoft's best protection is a strong competitor in the internet/intranet services department. Netscape is miniscule compared to them, but has high visibility. This would make them attractive as a competitor (assuming the Microsoft lawyers can calm down Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer's paranoia). What do people think? Will Microsoft promote Netscape in some very public way as part of their DOJ deal?
