huh!?! microsoft to pay AOL $750 million. AOL to USE IE for 7 years. MS to HELP AOL distribute CDs with new PCS! How is this a resolution to MS's anti-competitive-ness? it's win,win for Microsoft, apart from the money going to AOL, MS get IE used by AOL, instead of Mozilla or Netscape being used (which is rediculous considering AOL own Netscape), and MS get IE put with all PCs, in the form of the AOL CD... sheer craziness, especially how we already get WAY too many AOL CDs on the front of nearly ALL UK PC magazines... enough is enough already, I don't want another AOL CD, I've already chucked 12 in the bin this year alone!

"In its lawsuit, AOL alleged that Microsoft used anticompetitive business practices to ensure the dominance of its Internet Explorer browsing software over Netscape's software" - Are AOL really that stupid? To claim MS killed netscape, and then to decide to use IE in AOL, instead of netscape!!?! It sounds to me like AOL are the one's trying to kill Netscape now! anyway, /. waffle more and more. most interesting post basically says : who cares which browser is the best, IE has 90% market share, and as if the general user cares enough to change browser. don't be daft.
