I think the government has a good case against Microsoft, although I think they hurt their competition more than consumers. So MSFT should be punished for hurting their competition? Boy, that sure changes the rules of commerce. Companies like DELL and Compaq are simply too scared to confront Microsoft directly, especially when the real victims are other software companies like Netscape and Novell. Dell and Compaq don't compete with MSFT. Why would they be victims? The victims are their competitors, but they are victims of competition, imo. In any case, I think shareholders have other things to worry about like the fact that Joe Six Pack doesn't really care what software runs on his sub $400 PC, and the fact that Microsoft's bottom line will suffer if they want to compete with Linux, which is identical to Windows to the untrained eye. You're a programmer? Must be COBOL '86.
