[Besides, you've got to admit that having Bork on our side is a major coup...] You're entitled to your opinion, but if you believe the increased involvement of lawyers and bureaucrats in the software industry is going to make it a better place to work then we're so far apart we should just leave it at that. The Microsoft case is an anti-trust lawyers wet dream, no matter which side they are on, because (a) it includes a young high profile industry and CEO, (b) the government seems willing to throw tens of millions in fees at it and (c) it pushes the anti-trust laws in exactly the place where they are weakest. MSFT's tactics are very sound business practice up until the point where they achieve some undefined market share 'x' after which they become horribly illegal. This is clearly irrational and the case, if pursued, will undoubtedly wind up in a Supreme Court ruling full of photo-ops for the expensive legal help.
