What they want, and what they can do are two separate things. Controlling the WORLD wide web would be significantly harder than their attempts to control the OS market. If the US fails to stop them, the European Union, Australia, Asia, and other regions get their crack at them. The Internet will not stand to be controlled by Microsoft. There are too many people running Linux. Macs, Amigas, ect. for this to happen. The WORST that will happen is that third party browsers will have to learn how parse Microsoft's proprietary web code. Afterall, Star Office can read Word documents..... In fact, if it weren't for Linux, the government's case against Microsoft might have come sooner.... -- John Hokanson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallently.
