>>They should make MS pay every company they already destroyed<<

Like IBM, who wanted to charge $5000 a pc. or when they lost the lock on the bios, wanted to trick everyone back in to being locked in with the "microchannel"?

Or Lotus, who charged $495 for a spread sheet?

Or like Gary Kindall (rest in peace) who was out surfing while MS was working day and night.

Or the phone companies, still backed by government mandated monopoly, that want to charge long distance to use the internet?

Wake up Art. Microsoft makes a lot of products that are simply better - that's part of business, competition and foresight. They build and market successful products - people buy them - they aren't forced to.

Has anyone ever held a gun to your head to go buy a Microsoft product?
