re:<< Here's a few things they could do to Microsoft>> Don't forget, 10. 'Kick Bill in the Butt Day'.., since your list is so ridiculous. The beauty of our laws is they cut both ways. Personally, I'd love to see some interop standards that are actually enforced. But if you think they'll only stick msft you're severely deluded. I like Rob Glaser's synopsis: exchange2000.com =-=-=-=====-=== A Microsoft executive for 10 years, Glaser said he thinks he knows the problem in his former company: lack of restraints on the ferocious competitiveness of its employees. Such aggressiveness was understandable, even laudable, when Microsoft was the David against a Goliath, he said, "but not when you're now the Goliath." =-=-====-= So the DOJ will make a couple minor judgments, msft has to act a bit more considerate. fine. The next wave will be all the second and third tier companies being held to the same standard. I look forward to this, really, though I suspect a lot of Orin's buddies will be prying feet out of their mouths and doing a lot of back peddling. long msft, and very entertained by your list -- wondering if you think Netscape and Novell will be able to live up to similar scrutiny. -Kevin
