Norm, <<You bet and if you can come up with a substantive post from the Microphiles other than cries of oppression let me know. You'r mistaking me for a Microphile. I happen to own some of their stock but do not apologize for their business behavior. I would not want to be a small competitor of their in a market that MSFT wants to take. I just think that the remedy the feds are seeking in this lawsuit is not appropriate (forcing MSFT to include the Netscape browser with W98). I don't think the current antitrust laws support doing something like this. As a conumer I would rather have Microsoft making software decisions for me than Janet Reno. Also please note that not all MSFT competitors support this antitrust suit. John Scully for one came out and said that MSFT was a very tough but fair competitor when he was running Apple Computer (unfortunately I don't have the bookmark for the article) Regards Bob
