"Who's to say the U.S. government (liberal part) isn't trying to reign in, if not destroy MSFT completely. Ever growing numbers of people have access to information today and they have the ability now to share their knowledge and exchange ideas, like no other time before." No matter the legal outcome of the MSFT matter, access to information will remain the same. The market will only be a more fair and competitive place.

RE:

<<Just perhaps, the real monopoly feels threatened by this, hence the "throwing down the hammer on MSFT" mentality is politically expedient to their grandiose purpose.>>

Interesting point. I always assumed that Clinton was using the DOJ just to punish his enemies and reward his friends like he did in Arkansas. You imply a more sinister motivation.

You may be right. Let's hope that the judges's remedy is not nationalization of MSFT.
