RE: EC responds to Microsoft's browser move
Ladies and Gentlemen, the solution to the Microsoft IE issue is realistically simple. If Microsoft is violating the Anti-Trust Law because it imposes the use of their browser on the Public when they purchase the Windows software, it follows that the removal of said browser places Microsoft well within the Anti-Trust Law. Now, for the Courts to turn and demand that Microsoft provide ?multiple browser choices? as a remedy, may satisfy the quest for vengeance of a certain group out their, but it also causes the public to have unsubstantiated guarantee that Microsoft considers said browsers to be on the same level of compatibility with their Windows product as their IE browser. Furthermore, the displaying of a ? Warning? prior to choosing a browser other than the Microsoft IE, will, for the most part, in our ?fast food drive-thru? generation go unheeded and overlooked, leading to many dissatisfied customers.

The realistically simple solution is for the individual browser companies to supply a CD-disk with a closed label warning that must be tarred to open, and a user-manual with support telephone numbers included that Microsoft can place within their product box. Providing these items assures that Microsoft stays within the Law and provides browser choice for their Windows product.
