This is dumb.  The whole argument is over the fine print at the end of the commercials/advertisements, who doesn't have those?  If anything they should have sued compaq as well.. after seeing some of the ipaq commercials

It has "Built in Email and Internet", but not "Internet Access." Just get rid of one word, Microsoft, and it's all good.

That's not nearly as bad as these places selling computer systems that don't come with a monitor...<br><br>Dan East

Exactly. You can't use a computer without a monitor, it shouldn't even be called a computer. A Computer is the full system.

Just because some fool can't read on the side of the box that it DOES NOT include a modem doesn't mean MS should be punished.<br><br>HP that's a different story.
