Well I'm a firm believer of proper procedure Jhild, also it hasn't been shown to be a monopoly...only assumed to be. You are the one who's jumped to that conclusion...I have only reached the point where I think it needs to be investigated and proven. You have shown you believe it's a republican conspiracy yadayadayada. I believe that the competitors of MSFT have failed and have some blame for their situation, AND some companies who have been bought by MSFT have set themselves up for just that. No I don't see it as cut and dried...nor do I care to see one of America's greatest companies thrown apart over a browser battle. Oh hell on second thought...get a rope! <kidding>

MICRON RESPONDS TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Nampa, Idaho, October 23, 1997-Micron Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MUEI) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joe Daltoso reacted today to reports regarding Micron's statements to the Justice Department in its investigation of Microsoft. A recent declaration from a Micron Electronics manager detailed the company's negotiations with Microsoft over whether Micron could remove the standard Internet Explorer icon from the Windows 95 desktop in favor of an icon for a customized version of the Internet Explorer browser. "We do not understand why some reports have characterized this declaration-- which the Justice Department compelled us to provide--as a complaint against Microsoft," Daltoso said. "We negotiate with Microsoft and our other partners on a daily basis," continued Daltoso. "Give and take is the definition of business negotiations. Micron Electronics determined independently that Internet Explorer was the best business solution for us and our customers. Upon completion of our review and still today, Internet Explorer is our solution of choice."
