>It still puzzles me what it was that Microsoft has done wrong except win in the competition.< I don't think you understand. Obviously you don't. Everyone today who uses a Windows-based PC has been harmed. Everyone accessing SI right now via the internet using a Windows-based PC has been harmed. When you use a third party application which has been "Designed for Windows 95/98/NT", you are being harmed. It doesn't matter how much more productive you feel you are. You have been harmed. When you shop on an e-commerce site, accessing that site via the internet from a Windows-based PC, you are being harmed. Janet Reno said so. If we recall her words of wisdom when she announced this case being brought against MSFT, she said something close to, "This is a victory for consumers". We're just too stupid to know it. The government, in its wisdom, knows what is best for you. We're too dumb to figure that out for ourselves.
