Mr. Charles Tutt, I don't remember exactly, I think I read it on MSNBC. But there is a mention of the Appeals court ruling in an article on MSNBC today 8/6/98. It is mention in an article on Microsoft. In addition, the Appeals court said that judge Jackson, who's currently hearing the case, seemed to show extreme prejudice against Microsoft and made obvious judicial mistakes in favor of the DOJ. I think they kind of took the judge to the woodshed, IMHO. I don't remember if I read it or heard someone else say that the Appeals court basically said that they will reverse whatever decisions judge Jackson makes if he doesn't shape up, IMHO. That is why the the DOJ had to change their case. The case is now about Microsoft's marketing tactics. Microsoft is saying that as a result of their innovation, they have inadvertently hurt competition. Such is the case with Netscape. MS has evidence showing that they were integrating the browser with Windows even before Netscape was a company. Most MS bashers on this thread have less 10% understanding of the court case, they just want to bash MS. That's why I said "Thank God they are not lawyers, because they don't have a clue", IMHO. Sorry I don't mean to offend or misled anyone, but many people just want to bash MS. Thank You, JK
