It therefore will go to Appeals Court where MSFT will win.

Does anyone really think that the same government entities that are seeking to break up MSFT will allow the proposed AOL Time-Warner merger to go through? I don't.

When morons like Case, McNeally, and Ellison yowl for government protection from competition, they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. If they can't see that the greatest danger to the entire industry is the heavy hand of government controllers and regulators, not competition from MSFT, then they will learn first hand, eventually. And we, the consumers and investors, will all lose. The most vibrantly alive and productive sector of our economy cannot continue to create and innovate under the control of bureaucrats. And if you think I'm overstating the danger, then just wait and see...

And again, for those of you who say "Republicans good, Democrats bad", read the link below where a Republican governor talks about sending the State Police to chase down UPS and FedEx trucks to enforce collection of taxes on e-commerce. Unbelievable!
