Cheryl and JC seem to repeatedly post the following:

1. Microsoft is hiding things in the source code
2. Windows is inferior, and people just buy it because they are dumb or just forced to.
3. Microsoft has a monopoly
4. Microsoft should be punished because their code has bugs

Here are some questions you still haven't answered, and your posts make no sense until you do:

1. How do you know anything about Microsoft's code and its hidden secrets?
2. With Linux, Apple, IBM, Be, and others, how is Windows the only choice, thus making Microsoft a monopoly?
3. Since file compatibility is no issue these days, why do you think consumers are so dumb as to choose Windows over others for no good reason. Even Cheryl said Linux is better.
3. What law says you should be punished for bugs, and how should every software company be punished for them?
4. Since Netware, Linux, OS/2, and MacOS come with a web browser, and since all AOL users will soon being using Netscape, why shouldn't Microsoft ship Windows with IE? Especially since it does a lot more for the consumer than browse? And how do you disagree with a court of appeals that integrating IE with Windows is fine?

Cut the name-calling and use some logic.
