"Dear Microsoft employees on the thread" "Would you please tell the MSFT management to stop being so arrogant and admit the wrong they have done" Is it wrong to try to put your competitors out of business, or is it capitalism? When do you stop competing because you know you already have a monopoly? Should Intel stop adding features to processors because it might ruin AMD? If AOL buys Netscape and everyone's so excited about Netscape 6, and it's simple to download, is the consumer really harmed? What about the email they found that described plans to integrate an Internet browser into Windows before Netscape ever existed? In addition, an appeals court ruled that Microsoft's bundling of IE with Windows was just fine. I'm excited to see if the appeals court says Microsoft is wrong. I bet they won't on at least some of the points. Don't get me wrong, my personal opinion is that competition could be more fair, but I don't think you can blame Microsoft for competing like every other company wants to. Would it be fair to expect them to hold back? Just my opinion, David
