   Don't be too sure that MSN will come included in Win95 when it finally is
released.  The Department of Justice has been carrying out an ongoing 
investigation into whether or not MSN's inclusion in Win95 is anti-competitive
and give MS ann unfair advantage in the Internet service provider arena.  The
basis for the argument is that, based on the likelihood that Win95 will be
on a very large number of computers in a fairly short time, other third party
providers will not even be considered.  This may be illegal because MS is
using its virtual monopoly of the OS market to try and achieve a monopoly of
the service provider market.

   According to the latest PC Week, the DOJ did not rule out the possibility
of taking action within the week (meaning certain delays for Win95).  Needless
to say, this has Compuserve officials pretty excited.
