This is the way the gov works. There is no arrogance there. Microsoft is saying that it did no wrong. What do you expect a defendant to say if he believes that a death penalty is being sought. Reports were that a few weeks ago, the gov didn't want to breakup microsoft. Now they want to break it up. The fact is that no remedy is fair to the consumers. Since the gov is hell bent on doing something, this is the least onerous on the feds. They can break up things and move on. They are abrogating their responsibilities too. This is no way to treat a US corporation which has done more good than harm to the consumers. If the feds believe that conduct was wrong, they should seek conduct remedies. The structural remedies will just destroy a corporation not benefiting anybody... What people forget is that UNIX has been around for more years than Windows or DOS. Nobody, not wordperfect, not lotus, decided to port their software to UNIX. That is not microsoft's fault.. Does AOL client work from UNIX machines ?
