>>I've been a MSFT shareholder for 15 odd years. I think the ongoing anti-trust jihad is nothing more than a disgusting politically motivated incursion into the free market.<<

James -

The fact that you bought MSFT that early shows that you are a smart person. Congratulations.

As for the anti-trust "jihad" being bogus, I'd just like to point out that the courts have already found that Microsoft violated anti-trust laws. That is no longer in question. Any reading of the facts demonstrates that they engaged in numerous anti-competitive practices that have nothing to do with a free market.

The current battle is only over remedies, since the representatives of the nine states don't believe the settlement agreement was adequate.

Basically, the company hasn't been harmed one whit, so I don't know what you're complaining about.
