Justice: MS Floating 'Old Ideas wired.com But the government has amassed a good deal of material to the contrary. The most damming evidence against Microsoft is perhaps an excerpt of an email memo from Jim Allchin to Paul Maritz dated 20 December 1996, entitled "Ensuring that we leverage Windows." "I don't understand how IE is going to win," read the memo. "The current path is simply to copy everything that Netscape does packaging and product wise.... My conclusion is that we must leverage Windows more. "Treating IE as just an add-on to Windows which is cross-platform [is] losing our biggest advantage -- Windows marketshare. We should dedicate a cross-group team to come up with ways to leverage Windows technically more.... We should think first about an integrated solution -- that is our strength," read the memo. --- Even the top brass at MS knew that they can't compete fairly in a open market without a OS monopoly. This alone is a very good reason to break up MS and make the OS a separate company from the applications. My friend has AutoCAD lite program. When he needs a help document they have to be downloaded from the WWW. Funny thing is that it wants IE to download the file. This is another good way to try and rub out Netscape. JMHO Mike
