Yesterday, MS and AOL settle for MS illegally using it's
Monopoly position to crush Netscape throught bundling
the IE with the OS.
The next day, I am reading about how they plan to
integrate it even tighter to the extent that you will no longer
be able to install or upgrade to the new IE without installing
or upgrading Windows.
The whole DOJ action has proved to be a monumental failure. The only value it has was that it temporarily restrained MS just enought to give Linux and OSS a chance to grow. It was a window ( another good word ruined) of
opportunity that with the perverse synergy DRM,Palladium, Trusted Computing,Microsoft Computers,Server/Client and of course .Nyet, MS is hoping to slam shut.
These are dark days.
