Sunspot, re >Did you know, that the danish version of Word 2000 is not compatible with the danish version of Word 97? And that MSFT says: That's not our problem? This is not good.<

So, use Corel WordPerfect Office 2000. I do, and like it a lot. i.e., if you don't like your Ford, try a Chevy. If more people would use the competing products, MSFT wouldn't have such a large market share, and there would be less cries of "Monopolist!".

>>Did you know, that the danish version of Microsoft internet explorer cannot view certain U.S. sites, like Yahoo? Netscape just works.<<

That's great Sunspot. So you have a browser that works good. I use Netscape too. You're obviously not being forced to use Microsoft Internet Explorer. Was there some problem I'm missing in your comment?

>>Maybe the U.S. is still Microsoft centric, but, frankly, I don't know anybody in Denmark who wouldn't like to stop
using Microsoft products.<<

So what's stopping them? Is the European government forcing people over there to use MS products? Again, I don't follow your reasoning, or what your comments have to do with the DOJ issue, other than you are highlighting the other choices people have other than MSFT (the no monopoly argument).

Regards,

Dwight
