Scott, Like I said in my post - what MSFT did is defend it's product at the expense of another company's competing product. This is a territorial defense as well when you consider the upcoming Active Directory. Now as you state: <<... does this mean that any company which does not release APIs to allow their security system to be redirected to a competitive system is in breach? I just want to under stand the anti-trust laws as you do ... ;-)>> ANY company yes but is MSFT just ANY company? In your mind's eye they appear to be just like any other company out there. In my mind's eye, they are not. In the recent ruling of the court in the DOJ vs MSFT case, it is stated that MSFT is NOT like any other company but that they enjoy certain benefits of their market position. By leveraging that market position to maintain or enhance the status quo violates the Sherman Anti-trust laws. Peter J Strifas
