Fear not. I heard an old-time magazine reviewer say on CNBC this week that W'98 is a BIG NOTHING (my words). Says truth is between DOJ and MSFT. Said he could download NSCP browser with W'98 and use it. I don't like that integrated word one bit. Yes it is. I believe a monoply company does not have the right. MSFT should not have killed off Novell, they could have kept their freedom. That is scary! Disclaimer: These statements from o~~~ O contain opinions that are his only and are NOT an open invitation to Bill Gate$ to sue the pants off o~~~ O who has far fewer buck$ than Bill or the DOJ. o~~~ O

*****>>>Where do we draw the line?<<<***** You don't in a free enterprise system! If MSFT is indeed a monopoly it should be broken up. But never should the government be allowed to dictate what a company does to it's products as far as innovation. The ability to cruise the 'Net and the WWW is essential to the OS of a PC...just as much as it is to a PalmPilot, Cellular phone or Web TV..."The times they are a changin". If the evidence shows MSFT is in fact a monopoly...break it up to allow competition to flourish...BUT for god sake let's not start regulating it...thus creating a public utility like the old "Phone Company". The only benefit that could come from that would be Lilly Thomlin jokes.
