Hi Lindy, I go along with you on this one. I am a share holder of MSFT and I am using Win98 and internet explorer. I don't know much about Linux, but a lot people have used it. I think Linux may survive and so do MSFT. Let us find out what DOJ can do to MSFT. Best Regards!

Lindy, we've been 'doing' MSFT and Janet Reno on this thread for a couple of years because the Feds will go after Q! when it gets big enough. Q! is leveraging a monopoly into other monopoly positions. As any sensible business operators do. For example, Globalstar is nearly a monopoly, using the leverage of an exclusive CDMA deal from Qualcomm and with ICO, Iridium and Ellipso all near 'Game Over' positions. WirelessKnowledge is next. A combined monopoly [MSFT/Q doing a joint leverage]. The cultist envious types will attack Q! when they see it succeeding mightily. Especially when the WWeb is eyeball to eyeball with the USA itself and doesn't blink. It's quite fun owning a share in a company helping build a Frankenstein Monster which will rule the world. Fun, but scary. I guess IT will 'correct' my posts and excommunicate me and even get a bit physical if I don't behave in the way The Web [IT] wants. I'll worry about that later because the profits are so tempting right now. It might feel a bit like being one of the people who voted for the National Socialists, thinking it would be a good thing.
