Feedback RE: "Some might say I'm biased. Never the less, I'd like feed back." David Howe, a Microsoft Employee Nobody is saying that Microsoft employees don't work hard for the money. The problem is not so much a problem with you and your fellow workers as a problem with perspective. If you didn't work for Microsoft and didn't own the shares, the situation would be much easier to grasp. Much of what you have cited as facts are true to varying degrees but are pretty much irrelevant. The problem is not one of becoming a monopoly but of using what monopoly powers have accrued in one area to create advantages for one's self in other areas. Knowingly acting to create advantages is worse. Knowingly acting to create additional monopolies out of these advantages is worse still. Inappropriate and un-repentant behavior in defense of such actions practically calls down the wrath of the Gods. You have been living in a protected environment to some degree while working away. Some of that is now changing and life will become even more challenging. Sorry, but this has been building up all around you for some time. it's just easier for some to see than for others. Hal
