"The more aggressively Justice pursues Microsoft, the lower the Nasdaq and computer-related tech stocks fall."

Why does our government seemingly want to destroy the tech industry?

An Orwellian Tale, taken with a grain of salt:

Scorned techies and other microscopic thinkers, in their antipathy for MSFT, unwittingly aligned with a government who's only desire was to control information technology. The PC had become too powerful to remain in individuals' hands. It threatened government television as the primary mode of idea dissemination. The government wisely used the emerging content giant (AOL) and network server giant (SUNW) to dismantle the personal computing platform standard. It was a successful bipartisan effort, thanks to the support of citizen groups known as Tutts and Daves. And that's why the two knobs on the Citizen Data Distribution Terminal, which we all know and love, are to this day called Tutt and Dave. The End. <g>
