<<They could care less (sic) about the OS just as long as the products are kept separate.>> Er...Matty, it's actually "they couldn't care less..". You probably already knew that. I don't mean to nitpick. Just one of my pet peeves (along with "irregardless" ). Oh yes, "overgeneralize" is wrong too. Generalize is the correct word. Hopefully, you'll take it as constructive criticism. That's my intent anyhow. :-) Ciao, Daniel

The browser is the problem????? The point of the DOJ case is pointed AT the browser as the current issue, but involves MANY other issues as they relate to the OS and the market share that the OS allows MSFT to have. You forget that the DOJ is also chasing MSFT based on the assumption-cum-fact that they have some emails that point to MSFT execs planning to subvert JAVA. So, there is more at work here than just MSIE... IBM was DEMORALIZED?????? After 20 some odd years???? They were basically winning at every turn, and you say they got DEMORALIZED????? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Check the facts again, my friend. PUHLEEEZE.
