David Your assertion that a "gun was pointed at the child's face" is just as uninformed as your idea that MSFT developed DOS. How can your ideas be taken seriously if you are just making things up out of thin air? I've seen no picture or heard any "proof" that a gun was ever pointed at the child and my understanding is that Gates and Allen bought DOS and then licensed it to IBM (retaining the right to license it to others).

Dave: You are misguided both on MSFT case as well as the Gonzalez case. Consensus opinion is that the INS acted in a way that prevented injury, at the most opportune time and didn't point the gun at the child. The gun was under control with no finger on the trigger. This is the way these raids are always conducted. They are designed to stun and surprise. Legally, all necessary search warrants were issued and they acted fully legally. MSFT case has been compared by "Abigail" to the OJ case and you are comparing MSFT to Elian case. You must be from "outer space" to make these comparisons.
