+Ed.. Must be a perception thing... I'm a Libertarian, and I sure don't see forcing MSFT to follow a few simple American rules of the game quite the same as having the people held hostage. If anyone has been held hostage is certainly has been more by MSFT than by the Govt in this matter... While you may be a "Libertarian", you certainly aren't a "libertarian". To be a "Libertarian" you just have to join a party. A libertarian would place the corrective actions of the free marketplace over the coercive action of the government. The market place was already correcting the situation, just as it did when DEC diminished IBM and then the PC diminished DEC. A column by Seymour at TheStreet.Com that was posted here earlier said this quite eloquently. libertarian.org "In the libertarian view, governments should be held to the same standards of right and wrong as individuals. As a result, libertarians believe that governments should not interfere with the interactions and exchanges of peaceful people."
