>>....we should apply the laws properly and not destroy a company with 39,000 jobs and represents 10% of the value of the NASDAQ.

That was not my suggestion. Like I said, the appropriate remedy escapes me. What I do know is that prior consent decrees have been shrugged off and trampled, and have done nothing to convince them to abide by the law. Nonetheless, I'm not convinced that two 800 ton gorillas is preferable to a single 1600 ton one.

>So who do you ask for permission from when you make your business decisions?

The law of the land, for starters.

>>The problem with Americans as I see it...is they complain when someone has it better than them...rather than the opposite.

No complaints from me, so long as it's done on a level field. Microsoft has arguably been a driving force behind the recent technological revolution, economic expansion, and vastly increased productivity. And they have been rewarded handsomely, as they should have been. What I don't understand is their recurring attempts to stifle free and open competition.
