> I heard on the news last night that the Province of Alberta was suing Microsoft for about a billion dollars to cover the costs of the Y2K screwup. If other governments start to do this, this might be a litigious situation. Personally, I don't blame them.

From MacInTouch: A Microsoft patent apparently contradicts a critical assertion in the Microsoft antitrust trial: "It should be understood by those skilled in the art that a web browser, such as NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR or INTERNET EXPLORER, which is separate from the operating system, may be used in the implementation of steps discussed herein that involve the operating system."
