MS has a right to ship what it wants when it wants. The DOJ should look into things like: OEM licenses and MS using them to force OEMs to not install or customize things that consumers want. I mean its only appropriate that the OS be customizable by the OEM or the end user....but this does not mean working with the source or other copyrighted sections of the OS. Really nothing else the DOJ has said has any legal bearing on what MS has done. Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
