All these complaints miss the point--- The DOJ specifically is NOT forbidding Microsoft from innovating or, ahem, "creating great software." The DOJ's complaints relate to marketing and tying. They are not calling for a halt to Windows 98. They are in favor of increasing choice by allowing the OEMs to set the startup screen and initialization process as they see fit. Whatever you think of adding Netscape to the Windows 98 CD, it certainly doesn't prevent Microsoft from creating products.
