To the Microsoft Software users: We are not in anyway connected to Microsoft. We are only users of their software products. We propose the idea, which many before us have articulated; We fear the potential ramifications of the government controlling the content of software. We view the possible break-up of Microsoft as potentially harmful to our enterprises. We feel that their products have answered our software needs with timely, cost competitive solutions. We would like you to take a minute to reflect, and ask yourself a couple of questions; 1.Would your ability to be productive, be better today if Microsoft had not been as successful? 2.Do you think Microsoft would have been as successful if they had not offered products you wanted? 3.What message does it send, to see any enterprise broken because it is successful? 4.Do you feel it to be inappropriate for the government to dictate the content of software solutions and operation systems? If you agree, please Add your name to our petition; We the undersigned agree, government should re-think the Judge's position and take what ever steps Necessary, including amending law, to insure that Microsoft will not be hindered in their pursuit to be inventive and innovative. Your name will be added to a list by state. The data will be offered at various levels of government, in the effort to start a ground swell amongst the base of our elected officials. ms-petition.acmsys.net
