Just as MS told JJ "up yours" & got the DCAC to reverse JJ's ruling that MS couldn't release win98 with an integrated browser - MS is telling the US Justice system "up yours" we are forging ahead. I hate to say this but I am more pessimistic than ever that anyone has the will to stop a rampaging Bill Gates. Not even his own people try anymore. Hmm perhaps its time to roll-over & just buy MS stock (god forbid - grin) Cheers Doug Marker

I don't want to store data or other information on Microsoft's servers. I don't want a version of Office that is a "service" that connects to Microsoft in order to work. The registration scheme sucks. But Microsoft being Microsoft, you gotta believe that people will hear Microsoft saying "you want web services" and follow Microsoft as rats followed the Pied Piper. French Zombies are zapping me with lasers!
