Reggie, a former high flier being bought out by a more powerful company usually isn't considered a huge business success, is it? There's a lot of internet companies valued at more than Netscape now. That couldn't be because of the air supply operation, could it?

The "harm to consumer" is a particular economic policy argument. So far, it's been well buried in Microsoft's shotgun defense. Maybe it will hold through the Supreme Court, maybe not. The Chicago School great thinkers would hold there should be no antitrust law at all. Do you think the Supreme Court will decide that way? As always, I make no prediction.

As far as "harm to consumers", I've always stated that the consumers would be better served by an OS that sucked less. Bill disagrees, apparently, so I guess by your definition that's not what the market wants.

Cheers, Dan.
