I have almost finished printing out the .PDF file on my HP Laserjet 4000. Yep, there it goes, done, all 206 pages. Thinking about how impossible this would have been even two years ago. Impossible to read and digest it all in one sitting, but the conclusion is pretty stark for MSFT: 412. Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's actions have conveyed to every enterprise with the potential to innovate in the computer industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, IBM, Compaq, Intel, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products. Microsoft's past success in hurting such companies and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies and businesses that exhibit the potential to threaten Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest. __________________________ Thomas Penfield Jackson U.S. District Judge
