OT << Microsoft on the other hand does not gouge consumers on prices. >> How about changing the header formats on every version of microsoft office so none of them are compatible with the previous versions. Forcing all corporations to update every release. You don't think Office is a price gauging piece of software, it costs over $1000 bucks for the full versions. << Yet it is because of Netscape who screams that bad Microsoft made IE and bundled it with windows that now there is an antitrust trial >> It's quite clear microsoft leveraged windows to dominate with IE. Again, it's another argument if you think that should be legal or not. How about corrupting open standards like java to ruin interoperability and create windows only code. (same thing with vb script, so that netscape wouldn't function) Things that serve no possible benefit to the consumer except to force them to use only windows.
