Charles- I don't think anyone can cut a Gold version in 3 months time of anything. However I hope the Judge holds their feet to the fire. "If you can't do the time don't do the crime". Stacker and DOS 6.2, 6.21, 6.22 were the only consequences Microsoft ever suffered for Bill's above the law decisions. Now the OEM stakes are much higher. There are two ways to go: 1) extend the time (Sun seems in agreement here). 2) let the OEM's sue Microsoft for lost business (fat chance). I think Microsoft is really scrambling. Judge Jackson's unbundling preliminary injunction last year was flawed. This time you got to believe Microsoft's actions were flagrant and a Federal Judge's injunction will stick. Harvey P.S. Non-modular integration code isn't helping much either WIN98 was already delayed 6 months and this must have some effect on NT 5.0 also.
