Most probably the latter Ekhart.

That leaves a reasonable doubt. Yes, but i'm not talking about the trial. Before the opposite was publicly shown (not at the trial), MS claimed that IE cannot be removed from pre-XP Windows and that Windows will not run correctly or at all without it. Do you think MS really did not know that IE can be removed and that Windows is more stable and runs faster without it? That would mean MS is very incompetent. Or did they know and just lie?
