Yes Vendit, I followed it closely while it unfolded. I own AOL because I owned NSCP.

Even before NSCP, one only had to have a casual ear to the world to hear of a company falling to MSFT. They either bought a company or stole it's concept and the little guy disappeared. Anything worthwhile program in free enterprize they wanted, they took, one way or another. They held computer mfg's hostage to their biding with their operating system (our way, or no DOS, or Windows).

When I say I want him stopped cold, It's because you can't reach a compromise with a man like Gates, without compromising the future
itself. It's inherent in his personality and he (and MSFT) must be dealt with in a fashion that will prevent a continuation of this kind of activity.
