Hello Dan, From: dailynews.yahoo.com Mario Monti, the EU competition commissioner, told journalists that several competitors* had complained that Windows 2000 would give Microsoft a dominant position in the software market.* (bold mine) Again, competitor protection, not consumer protection. Maintaining "free" markets through force and regulation. Orwell would be proud. Rant? I think not. This whole MSFT anti-trust (anti-capitalism) charade is so transparently farcical that I'm more inclined to, as Mr Dowd so indelicately put it, puke. From your Register article: Win2k launches in eight days time, so this sounds rather like a very large 'do you feel lucky, punk?' Apt language from the kind of statist thug mentality that perpetrates this assault on free market competition. Regards, JB
