So, I think the congress should immediately start an investigation why the DOJ only promote NSCP's product while there are still so many small players in the market are not included. What is the motive of DOJ ?

And who do you think was the source for all those stories? The fact that the Microsoft spin doctors were faster getting their story out doesn't make their version somehow more truthful. Not that I'd claim to know the truth, who knows what really happened. But it was fairly ridiculous to expect a very complex matter to be settled in 3 days of negotiation, all motivated by the magnanimous Microsoft offer of slipping the OEM shipment to Monday. Especially when some stories said some OEMs already had the final code anyway. Me, I just follow the news, and I put somewhat more stock in the NYT than a lot of other reporting. Cheers, Dan.

Dwight, >>If I was the CEO of the company that makes WebCrawler, I would be suing the DOJ on Monday morning How beautifully hypocritic of you. In the light of this thread the rat shows his true colors. Forcing Microsoft to put Netscape on their desktop may not be the right thing at all but it would give the market the chance to decide which one they really do prefer. This must be what scares Microsoft most -- letting the consumer make the real choice. Cheers, Norm
