Good for you, but the average consumer has 32 megabytes. Yeah, I got 32 meg and NT kinda sucks. It's better now that I uninstalled the "Desktop update" part of IE though. Is that option available in Win98? Whoever does not get included in the corporate welfare package suggested by the DOJ should sue them for anti-competitive practices in the free market. How dare they insist that the current browser leader be mandated by law to recieve additional market share? The smaller guys should have a litigous field day. How dare Mr. "Microsoft has already highjacked the internet" keep spouting the usual nonsense. DOJ says nothing about mandating additional market share. Only some alternative remedies for breaking the ironclad monopolistic death grip Microsoft has on the OEM bundling channel. "They have to ship the machines the way we build them". Cheers, Dan.

Reg - Good for you, but the average consumer has 32 megabytes. Where'd you get this stat? You've got to be making this up. Is it for desktop machines? deskside? servers? What constitutes a server vs. a PC? A workstation vs. a PC? What got counted? -justinb

Reggie, >>Good for you, but the average consumer has 32 megabytes. Just enough to run Windows98/IE and an app that uses virtual memory.

Reggie, >>Wouldn't it be funny if all of this backfired on NSCP and Opera and RCM's Financial browser were the packages mandated by a judge to be distributed by MSFT >>How dare they insist that the current browser leader be mandated by law to recieve additional market share? The smaller guys should have a litigous field day. Reg, you forgot to use the "royal we" in that statement. Doesn't "We should have a litigous field day." sound more befitting of your regal bearing? Maybe toss in "let them eat DOS" for good measure. Once again the final refuge of the anti-gov Microphiles is to file a lawsuit. What a bunch of hypocrites. Cheers, Norm
