Dispite what you think about microsoft, they are a monopoly, defined by the Judge, and that is crime. -- "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Well, first of all, the judge spesificaly said that even *if* apple's were considered, his findings of fact would be the same.
If by "monopoly" you mean "large market share on intel computers," then I will agree they have a monopoly. But so what? They gained that "monopoly" fair and square, and I as far as I can see they have committed no crimes in defending that monopoly. You could argue that they have violated antitrust law, but it is so vague that practically every successful company has done this.
A monopoly in and of itself is illigal, they may not be laws that you like, but those are the laws that have been implemented by our system of government. Just beacuse you feel a certan way, dosn't mean that you're correct. If you don't like the laws, vote people who will remove them. -- "Subtle mind control?

I think that Microsoft would be interested in dragging out the case as long as possible. Why? The longer a case drags out, the more money it costs. If a case is drug out long enough, someone is going to run out of money and will be forced to drop the case. And Microsoft certainly isn't going to run out of money first.
Remember, the organization figting microsoft here is the Department of Justice, not some other bankrupt company. The US government rakes in 3 times microsofts entire market cap each year, and if they really need to, they could just rase taxes. I don't think it's costing them that much money though... -- "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

I don't know if this has changend, but for quite a while IE was the only browser with java 1.1 support, Netscape still only used 1.0. In order to even view some of the java on Sun's site, I needed to use IE.
I downloaded m10 tonight, and played with it a little. Pretty crazy stuff. I'll go back to netscape right away, once they reach beta, or somthing. I can't wait.
IE5 is called IEXPLORE.EXE, and explorer.exe is called, well EXPLORER.EXE, They exsist in seperate memory spaces. They are seperate processes. Not linked.
However, Explorer is pretty unstable by itself (much more so then ie5 on my box, actualy). and any stray app can bring it down. -- "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
IE supports Standard Java far better then Netscape. I couldn't even view some of the samples on Java.sun.com in Netscape, worked fine in IE though. I'm still using NS4.05 or somthing along with IE, beacuse I hear the newer versions are even worse.
-- "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Just because Microsoft feels they can release an unstable crappy browser doesn't mean we should loose hope.
IE is not crappy, or unstable. Netscape Is the company that does that, remember? Have you used IE5? it's crashed on me Twice since september. I just downloaded m10 of mozilla, and it looks nice. I'd hardly say it's a month away from reliase though, unless it's going to follow the tradition of all netscape software, buggy as hell -- "Subtle mind control?
