Aw, come on, Don, I'm sure Allchin can do a demo about how this is all wrong if you give him the chance. You get back about 35MB of hard disk space; Windows 98 runs much faster; and Netscape Navigator doesn't crash under Windows 98 anymore. (What a coincidence.) Well the first is no biggie, but the other two are worthwhile:-)! Cheers, Dan.

Don, why do you think that an article about removing IE from Windows is off topic? That's not the remedy du joir to be sure, but it was at the heart of the government's original case. BTW, on the issue of remedies, I've come across this, which says that compulsory licensing seems to be the front runner among the various competing remedies under consideration: usatoday.com Now, I am NOT a copyright attorney or expert, but one issue that perhaps has not been considered is how a compulsory licensing scheme fits in with copyright. Anyone remember that little cross-complaint that we all laughed at when Microsoft filed it? I'm sure the government has this well in hand (can anyone say "misuse doctrine"?), but it is something they are going to have to deal with if they go the compulsory licensing route. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it. Of course, if copyright problems keep them from using compulsory licensing, that still leaves the break-up option. ;)
