Dwight E. Karlsen -- Re: <<Those memos only indicate a healthy, competitive company.>> Like this memo excerpt? <<And, allegedly from Windows product manager Christian Wildfeuer: "It seems clear that it will be very hard to increase browser market share on the merits of IE 4 alone. It will be more important to leverage the OS asset to make people use IE instead of Navigator.">> Think for a couple of seconds, Dwight, doesn't this sound like what you said is "the question"? You wrote: <<The question will be, "has Microsoft used it's dominant position to drive rivals out of business, using excessive bullying tactics.">> You also wrote: <<You see, the DOJ has broad and vague powers vested in it with the Sherman anti-trust act. They can make up new laws as they go along, designed to fit an occassion which has already taken place.>> Now who's paranoid?
