BO: You miss the point whatgood is the testimony of this IBM twit against the backdrop of the facts:1.They were selling a competing system2.Lotus Notes etc still compete it appears (very well) with MSFT Exchange - so where is the harm. 3MSFT is under no obligation to sell their system to a competitor at a prefeerred price. If that were so everyone would be creating a crap O/S and demanding that MSFT sell them theirs at a preferential price. You along with all the other "trial by Email snippet" miss the fact that the consumer has not been harmed in any of this. It is not the job of the courts to aid and abet the competition where no present harm can be shown. The comparison between the values in Mac O/S versus MSFT O/S demonstrates this rather clearly. Speculating on the possible future harm to consumers is groundless. JFD
