Hi Mark, <<Would breaking up Microsoft create a better technology world? >> Perhaps I am simply failing to understand the issues but I find the whole controversy moot. Microsoft did stifle competition but is no longer in a position to do so. Computing, the internet, communications are evolving away from the desktop and toward the network. Gates and Co. have serious competition and must work toward cooperation to maintain the growth rate of the company. Gates recognizes the new era (note: I really like this speech and vision from Bill): microsoft.com <<The way we interact with the Internet is overwhelmingly through the keyboard today. And most business activity is really done offline. In this next generation, instead of simply thinking about the Internet as a presentation device, we think about it as a platform, and we run applications in the Internet. We store the information that people care about in the Internet. You could say that we're moving from the personal computer being the sole platform here, to the Internet being the platform. And there's a lot of things we can do when we think about it in that way. We can think about not making people have to move their information around from PC to PC or from a PC to another device. We can store that information for them.>> Way to go Bill, Paul
