Mr. tech2000,

. I also believe them in that the government has not proven harm to consumers which is the key element to the case.

I was reading an article from an anit-trust professor in an Ivy league school that said the government has done well in the courtroom but failed to prove harm to the consumer. He said that the government witness economist admitted that Microsoft has not abused their position but that there is the "possibility of abuse in the future". The professor also said that the government economist has somewhat admitted that Windows has provide a base from which developer could develop their product at a reduced cost to the consumer. The developer only has to focus on one platform not many of them.

Thank You

JK
