Could Eolas End Microsoft's Browser Dominance?

this article Eolas might not accept a payout: instead
they might exclude IE from using these technologies at all.. opening the way for a new browser war." We mentioned this dispute a few years ago, too, but an outcome to the Justice Department's case against Microsoft was far off in 1998.

Fuck Eolas.

Wait, was that a maximum IQ barrier you were after? Then I can see what you are after.
And regarding Microsoft; Microsoft has been proved to have used its unique position in the software market as a way to stifle competition (bully around hardware manufacturers, etc.). What I fail to comprehend is why people like YOU feel a need to defend them, no matter what. Did you defend the bullies behaviour in school too?
