I'm wondering why the DOJ is politically favoring Netscape over others like Opera. According to a recent letter re Opera in PC Mag, the user says (begin quote) "it's music to my ears. It opens with multiple windows, each with it's own URL; I choose how many windows; I choose the URLs. I can also select my own styles for links, headers and backgrounds. Opera lets me use plug-ins and see frames, tables, colors and images---all in compliance with HTML. The best part is that it's a download that takes up less than one floppy disk, with a total install of about 3.5MB, and it only costs $35. For the record: I am in no way affiliated with Opera, other than being an extremely satisfied user." (end quote) But we see that the DOJ will use the full power of the Federal govt to stifle competition by ordering MSFT to bundle Netscape only with Win98. Opera should sue the DOJ for $100 million in damages.
