JB, Who's talking about gov't regulation of the computer business? Enforcing the anti-trust laws certainly is not an example of gov't meddling in the affairs of private enterprise, and what happened in the automotive business and the move to put jobs in Mexico had nothing to do with anti-trust enforcement. Contract tying is illegal. No one is allowed to do it, not MSFT not GM, not GE, not anyone. If the court decides that MSFT is guilty of contract tying, then they have to pay the penalty, just like anyone else. Plain and simple. That's not gov't regulation, that's called law enforcement. If Congress decides the anti-trust laws are too weak, mainly because of MSFT's behavior, they may vote to strengthen them JUST TO REIGN IN MSFT. If that happens, so be it. If public fear of MFST monopolizing e-commerce forces new legislation to be passed that regulates e-commerce, then MSFT has only itself to blame. They will have brought the whole thing down on themselves and the rest of us in the computer industry. cheers, cherylw
