Apratim -
I don't think that the NT5 schedule is at risk over java components - they are not in the core OS. MSFT will have to solve this problem one way or another long before NT5 goes out, and whatever that solution is, it will play on NT5.

OT MSFT It's not the DoJ case that I am worried about

Microsoft is the bottleneck in the adoption feedback loop of networks / e-commerce / computers / routing which is the core of our good economy and tech companies specificly. If Microsoft were broken up the Application Programming Interfaces between the components would need to become more public. This would immediately allow more players to benefit but in the long run would let the business of transforming to the information age proceed more smoothly. This would grow all the businesses, including the separate companies which were formerly the Microsoft monolith.

As far as Dell is concerned it would be much better if it did not always have to wait for the Microsoft product before growing it's own business.
