Probably the wrong place to ask this. I'll be glad to know a better one, just tell me. Do any of us who believe that there IS a business problem with M$ practices have an organized way to contact the Gov's people working the Justice suit? The reason I ask this is that I have thought the emphasis on M$ making Internet Explorer an integral part of Windows isn't a very strong issue. The difference in performance between integrated and interfaced software isn't a big issue in people's minds, and, after all, Netscape is "interfaced" with whatever software in runs on. There MUST be other more important issues, for example the clear disadvantage that software companies have in developing for the MSW environment, in comparison with M$ itself. And the M$ practice of supporting their applications only until the new version is released, therebye imposing effectively a tax on the customer community -- they are more or less forced to upgrade every year, even though the M$ upgrades offer very little or no improvement. I believe that we would have more and better OS's and applications without the M$ dominance. THAT is the issue, not Internet Explorer, in my view. But I have learned that my views are so OFTEN wrong. So straighten me out if that's the case. Otherwise, what about the possibility of people like us contacting the Gov's Justice people and explaining what the real problems are? bob jones ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
