>> "Hi, I'm Al Gore. I invented the Internet...tax. My administration has made it a priority to randomly sue big US corporations that are making lots of money. How do you like us so far? By the way, can you give me some money."<<
Alan, This is not the most outrageous and obnoxious thing I heard all day. What is Al Gore's meeting with Microsoft supposed to be about??. Play ball and support our campaign for Presidency or we will sick some more of our dogs on you as we have already. What a joke and disgrace.
The following makes for some interesting reading regarding Jackson's verdict against microsoft.
“No high-tech company should cheer these findings—because they could easily become the next target of government's mad rush to regulate our most promising industry. Once again we are seeing the unlimited arsenal of government used against a successful company. Every high-tech executive in America should be asking, ‘Am I next?'” ~Bruce Josten, United States Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President
“The futile feud between old antitrust law and the new economy just proves that the government lawyers understand neither technology nor economics.” ~Alan Reynolds, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute, Dow Jones, Nov 5
“As far as the Microsoft case is concerned, there was no harm, it has no relevance, and the implications moving forward are dire. It's clear that the federal government is trying to control the free market through the courts.” Jonathan Zuck, for Americans for Technology Leadership (ATL)
