Speaking of off topic... MSFT will have its case heard in the court of appeal, this should be good news for techs tomorrow. Nasdaq futures just jumped. The appeals court is going to smack Joel "I don't know what a DLL is" Klein around. The point of anti-trust law is to protect the consumer, not competitors. Was Microsoft's aggressive action good or bad for consumers? Well, has anyone on this thread every paid for a web browser before? Microsoft's distribution of IE doesn't stop anyone from using Netscape if they want to. Joel doesn't understand the nature of competition in the software industry: It's not that a company is afraid that a competitor will make a competing product, rather its the fear of an entirely new market that will make your's obsolete. This possibility is an ever present reality in high-tech.
