<What happened yesterday is that the government established, with Microsoft's own witness, that there is little if any justification for designing Windows 98 in a way that makes it far more difficult than with Windows 95 to replace Microsoft's browser technology with that of a competitor. > This is nonsense. The consumer benefits from ease of use in integration. As I have said many times in the past. Nobody complained when MSFT integrated winsock, fax capabilities, disk utilities, memory management, graphical file browsing, etc. Now that a company has the connections to lobby, it is a big deal. I, as a consumer, would enjoy web browsing as part of the OS, and not as a separate package. I, as a consumer, enjoy not having to pay for a separate browsing app, as NSCP would have me do. I, as a consumer, have a lot of company.
