Am I missing something by assuming that most Dell, Compaq, and Gateway customers NEED all of the M$ software installed from the start. It makes sense if the "stripped-down" boxes are sold as an option, but to sell them all this way doesn't sound like a profitable move.

Right... and we expect that law enforcement will know the difference.

I wouldn't bet on it.

The law is ambiquous enough that lawyers will fight either way knowing that most people will sell their precious domain name if enough cash is waved in front of them.

In the end, the losers will be those that lack the capital to fight it.
