Two points:
<<However much one might detest MSFT or AOL or any other company, the erosion of the underlying constitutional rights that are the foundation of this countries success is a much greater threat than any perceived so-called "monopoly abuse of power".
Right on, as usual, James. Thanks for the libertarian insight. The government is creating a yet another "crisis", from which only it can "save" us.
<<And to the SUNNYs who have been populating this thread recently... To attempt to label those who disagree with your assessment as some kind of militia nuts reveals ignorance, at best, of the fundamental principles of free minds and free markets.>>
Jaros and Tutt and rest sound like they're fairly young, rather immature, (maybe not as far as their knowledge of technology is concerned, but rather in terms of life experience), thinking MSFT loss is their gain. But Sun is falling with the market too and pain is the best cure for this kind of hubris.
But, as you correctly point out, government intervention into the tech arena has a bigger purpose than just goring MSFT's ox. If I may mix a metaphor, SUN really doesn't want the DOJ camel's nose under the tech tent.
Ciao, Daniel |
