>>>I fail to see the reasoning behind your arguments that Microsoft products are "derivative products" (your words)<<< Eric, GST is right! The problem is MSFT is NOT innovative. However, Bill G is always crying that the Govt is trying to prevent his company from innovating! Let me ask you. Which product is innovative? a) IE or Mosiac/Netscape? b) MS-DOS or CP/M c) Windows or Xerox GUI/Macintosh? d) Excel or Visicalc? e) Word or WordStar? MSFT never invented anything. Not even visual basic. MSFT bought it. Not even DOS. They bought that also. We (software professionals) always laugh when Bill G. talks about innovation. --Olu E. (Sorry for the rant!!)
