I wonder if Al Capone were a widely held equity (SCAR) if we'd see the same clowns insisting on Al's "right to innovate"? --- I wonder if the same proud Republicans would be climbing out of the woodwork with the same dedication to exhausting the appeals process? Probably, huh? :) -JCJ

Michael, Thank you for your comments regarding Al Capone. I can understand the comparison because according to the DOJ Bill Gates and Al Capone are essentially the same person. Except the DOJ regards Bill Gates as more ruthless were as Al Capone tended to be more businesslike.

But then we all know the DOJ just gullibly believes whatever IBM, SUNW and ORCL tell them. It's sort of a gangland mentality, with the DOJ as the spokesman. Hopefully G.W. Bush will put an end to this government abuse.

Microsoft must retain its right to innovate!

My beef with the DOJ goes back to the days of that great successful Italian-American entrepreneur Al Capone.

How many people has Gates executed?

Another example of the irrational, intense hatred that some seem to have for MSFT.
