Schmandel, There are a lot of people at Microsoft innovating. I don't understand what it serves to claim that ABM (anyone but Microsoft) has a monopoly on innovation so acridly. I believe that this kind of misplaced anger is largely responsible for the legal lynching of Microsoft and the current threat to progress I think we're honestly faced with as a culture. I know it sounds melodramatic, but I believe it is accurate. Did you see the recent news that people are calling for government investigation into AOL's alleged instant messaging monopoly? Sure! Why not? AOL doesn't innovate. We've got nothing to lose. How about going after Cisco, Intel, Sun, and all of the US high tech winners until we can't compete with our foreign counterparts. I really hope that the recent attack on Microsoft, one characterized by such statements, does not end with a legal catastrophe where US companies routinely spend more time and energy on political and legal jockeying/overhead than on research and development.
