"Remove Internet Explorer!" says
the judge. "No can do," says Microsoft. And here are the company's ten
top reasons:
| 10. | A number of procompetition products need IE to function! Like Microsoft Money, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Encarta... |
| 9. | All 10,000 Windows programmers are working on NT 5.0 drivers right now, sorry. |
| 8. | Just give us a few days; Bill's been pulling all-nighters working on it. |
| 7. | Steve Ballmer: "You know, we're just trying to keep the techies down at the Department of Justice on their toes." |
| 6. | Nah, it makes Reback see red...what fun! |
| 5. | Brad Chase says that without IE's DLLs, Windows is "unsafe at any speed." |
| 4. | Obligation to Intel: need to produce slow OS software to drive sales of fast chips. |
| 3. | Because. |
| 2. | Can't pay U.S. judges enough to staff programming department. |
| 1. | Come on, how can we take over the world without IE? You're not recording this, are you? |
