Re: <<Gore . . . would not be inclined to hobble technological progress.>> Who says that breaking up Microsoft would hobble technological progress? It is more likely to advance technological progress, as smaller, more innovative firms could then invest in new development without fear of being copied and trampled over by Microsoft. It is well known that Microsoft is more of a copier than an innovator. Breaking up Microsoft would likely lead to a new burst of energy for the software industry, just as the oil and telephone industries boomed after the trust-busters got to Standard Oil and AT&T. And I, for one, resent the fact that when I finally upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Windows 98, it will cost me some $200, which seems to me to be a large premium to pay for something as basic as an operating system -- especially if it includes applications that I have no interest in using, such as Internet Explorer. JMO, Charlie.
