One of the things the court considers in granting an injunction is to prevent the defendant from causing any further "irreparable harm" to the victim/NSCP. ie, if the factory is blowing out toxic smoke to your house, you don't want to wait until the litigation is resolved, you want the court to stop the smoke first, then the litigation on the merits.
NSCp's press release this afternoon is essentially saying "thank you, DOJ, but this is too late"
How is the court going to issue the injunction if the victim is saying that the irreparable harm has already been done?

RE:"But is MSFT the best, is Windows the best ..?"

A Very Good Point:
Compaired to what? Compared to some other Microsoft product or compared to nothing at all?

HR

Like the riddle: What's the difference between a duck.

MSFT felt threatend

Well, there was that "Kill MicroSoft" sign at Netscape headquarters. Did you expect Microsoft to lay down and die? If Netscape was any good, maybe I would buy their product. As it is, it provides me with nothing I want.

Cheers,

Embrace and Extend

PS - Maybe Netscape could find a new calling as a lobbying group on behalf of the computer industry.
