Catcher... Seems to me that the entire DOJ case is based on the many alleged abuses of monopoly on the part of Microsoft. So my opinion in that regard wouldn't mean much, would it. If the judge finds specific instances, Netscape, or whatever, where, in HIS opinion Microsoft abused its monopoly --- well, THEN let's get together again and see if we agree with the judge's thinking. At this point, all I can do is say that I favor the DOJ case over the MSFT defense.
Did you at least buy the difference between Rules and Regulations?

I think the point is more that they squashed new technologies that they perceived might impact msft profits. In that sense it is impossible to know exactly what kind of damage they did because we can't know what innovations might have occurred if msft had not occupied the field (so to speak).
