RE: If definitions of applications and operating systems were put into law, these programmers might have to go through rigorous negotiations with the OS creator to make sure their products are separate. That would give the creator (think Microsoft, only bigger) even more power and control.

Interesting article. I have noticed that in the dreams of many of the most rabid $Bill haters is a DOJ action that results in the creation of three "baby $Bills". One a OS company, one a browser company and one a application company. To me it's unclear if this would be a bad thing for investors and conversely a good thing to MSFT's competitors.

Their dreams, if turned into reality, may become a nightmare.
