<<By the way, one of the major reasons I think IBM lost the PC war was because of the antitrust scrutiny it was under. If the government had NOT launched its antitrust campaign against IBM (and yes, FOR IBM's competitors) IBM may well have more powerfully and effectively leveraged the PC's reliance on IBM's mainframes, or on IBM's sales teams.>>

Dave, my point exactly. This is why the convicted felons at msft want to negotiate this matter to a close quickly. They are being watched by big brother and rightly so after what they did.

The internet should be based on "the best" technology with open standards. MSFT has neither and will lose the internet mindshare ultimately but they need to be controlled so that they cannot "innovate" their way into a dominant position. For once, taxpayers dollars are at work for something worthwhile.
