Jobs screwed up. Apple screwed up and lost. SUN lost. They just plain lost. The other day John Sculley said that he felt Gates was a "tough but fair" competitor, and that this politcal action against them was absurd (paraphrasing here). Now, why would the former chairman of the biggest "victim" of MS thinks this? Because it would be un-PC for him to say: "my successors at Apple screwed up". Microsoft has won the desktop OS war fair and square. However, they have employed every dirty trick on the book to screw other Windows application developers. Now they are trying to take control over the Internet that has prospered in no small part due to Microsoft's technological backwardness and shortsightedness. Last but not least: if Microsoft does not derive an unfair competitive advantage from their de-facto desktop OS monopoly, a breakup of the company should not hurt, and may even enhance, the shareholders value (cf. T and LU). PTB
