posting the whole story, though, not the Regimondish selective quote.
Careful, Dan. Are you sure you never snatch a choice, out of context sound bite or two from the articles you link? I don't think that "Regimondish" would be an adjective that you'd willingly use to describe your own posting techniques here. <g>
Normally, I'd worry about Newt trying to zero out the antitrust division, but probationary ilkest Orrin Hatch is riding shotgun on that on.
Political tags mean little in the context of this issue. Hatch, Bork, Gingrich, and Gorton are all "conservative" Republicans but the latter two have made statements of principle regarding the DOJ's persecution of Microsoft that I believe are morally correct and consistent with conservative values. Senator "Novell" Hatch, along with "Netscape" Bork, seem to shed their free market ideology when constituent concerns and retainer fees, respectively, assume priority over principle.
Bill seems to be a communist now by his own definition
From what I've been able to gather, Bill is not a political animal. I personally think that he's displayed naivete and inconsistency in this arena. He's neither a commie nor a libertarian. What he is is a genius as a businessman selling software. Even his detractors should be willing to grant him this.
your Bill's views
My Bills views? LOL. I will admit that Bill is responsible for adding quite a few "bills" to my portfolio and net worth. That's what this thread is all about. Assessing MSFT's value in the context of future earnings prospects, debating the merits, or lack thereof, of MSFT's products and those of their competitors, are welcome topics of contention.
The governments misguided (to put it mildly) attempt to cripple one of the strongest pillars of our healthy, vibrant economy, in the face of worldwide economic and political turmoil, makes me question the so called "friend of consumer" motives of those involved in this persecution.
