Sorry, Dwight, I do believe you are missing the point. Microsoft HAS a monopoly with respect to PC operating systems. It HAS been engaged in strong-arm, abusive and illegal activities. The DOJ and (at last count) 20 State Attorney Generals WILL be taking Microsoft to court. Yes, I believe that Microsoft should be broken up. You are entitled to your opinion. As I said in my earlier post, I LIKE Microsoft products. I admire Bill Gates and everything he has been able to achieve. However, I don't like any monopoly that abuses its unique position. If you would prefer having only one oil company, one drug store, one supermarket,......then I wish you luck.
