Reginald Middleton, I don't know if you have read the James Gleick's essay (Making Microsoft Safe for Capitalism), published in the NY Times magazine at the end of 1995. You can download it from his home page user.mc.net. I would suggest that Microsoft is a monopoly of a dangerous new kind and that they have and continue to use their position to prevent competition. The disingenuous stance that Dell Computers has taken is laughable and the only reason that Microsoft can declare that IE is part of the operating system is because there is no other choice for operating systems on PC's at this time. Microsoft is in the unique position of owning the highway and building cars at the same time. A conflict of interest for the public and difficult position for any competitor, and I am sure that this is abundantly clear to Congress. What is funny about the hearings is the spectacle of these arch yuppies who missed Viet Nam, the civil rights movement and never had to think about anything except making money finally being confronted on more fundamental ethical and rights issues. With the result being that they look like spoiled little kids. Thure
