Re: findings of fact made me wonder where reason has gone... Have you ever been involved in the procurement or development and use of computers or software? You certainly give no indication of it - you can't have thought this thing through. OS and mass distribution application costs have stayed absurdly high compared to the drop in hardware costs - and they should have dropped more, not less, due to the relative economies of scale (marginal cost of each additional unit "produced" is near zero). The "cut off their oxygen tactics" are blatant - and long term cause enormous damage to our economy by artificially increasing costs and stifling innovation. It's like needing to bribe someone to get a business permit - and not being permitted to compete if you might put pressure on the sloppy operation run by some official's brother-in-law. Microsoft has used practices typically seen in struggling 3rd world economies. And it's those practices that keep those economies struggling. Dan
