Well, Scrapps, I appreciate your position and agree with you that they have the right to add additional functionality - even this browser model of interacting and interconnecting, so long as it does not preclude other browsers from operating on anything but an equal footing. (Not forgetting of course without being able to prohibit OEM delivery of other browsers.)

I am hopeful though that you are not buying the argument that a monopoly is good for us. I believe there is great opportunity for mischief. I think we have seen some of that mischief exposed in the contracting language that they have forced on CPQ, DELL, et al.

As a broader issue, I think that culturally the courts and technology are ill-equiped to live in the same time frames. The very life of an innovative company can be snuffed out much faster than any suit can be resolved. If there is some good that can come from this it would be a streamlining of the judicial process to remain relevant to the pace of technology product cycles, over and above resolving these kinds of monopoly issues. Maybe even a technology court, that focused on technology based claims in an expedited manner - using what else but technology.
