Hmm...funny how it's ok when Motorola gets the stuffing beat out of them in the modem wars...via competition from 3Com/USR. But if MSFT does the same thing it's not. As I said...if it's (MSFT) a monopoly..break it up. As for OS & Applications...that too is changing, now we begin to see Agent & Portals and such. As you say MSFT shouldn't be able to combine the application with the operating system...then I guess Burger King shouldn't be able to combine the Bun with the Burger. There ought to be a law! No OS with an Application...even if it ruins the American way. Now lets take out the spell checkers, the formating apps. and all those other innovative things. In the name of fairness! Don't loose track of the fact that our laws only allow us the right to try & fail...nothing says we get success...that must be fought for. Business is war without the guns. Also I've never said that MSFT is not a monopoly...but the question to be answered is that and that only..."is MSFT a monopoly?" If so...do what the law allows. Btw. Where does it say OS's can't contain applications?... you'll not find that anywhere.
