Kevin T....you said <<Warning: personal opinion coming... Was just watching the coverage of the Justice Dept giving opinion on MS breakup. Joel Klein of the DOJ is a biased idiot and his boss Janet Waco is a criminal. The real monopoly to be feared is the Federal Govt., not Microsoft. Wake up America!>> ________ Kevin, I agree 100 percent with you. I'm tired of the feds wasting my tax money on multi-billion-dollar investigations of successful companies who have succeeded simply by giving the public what the public demands and wants and spends money to buy. If anyone can do it better than MSFT in terms of building and marketing a better mousetrap, why didn't they do it? Last I knew, we still had a free enterprise system here in America. However, I cannot resist making one exception to this disdain for federal intervention.....and that is the Justice Dept. inquiry into HOMS. Many people who know a LOT about that company are dancing in the streets at the news that some people high up in government see a potential problem there. The inquiry is well-deserved, and where there is smoke, sometimes fire is found.

KT.... I believe that the Microsoft action was an attempt by government to enter a control mode over technology .... get their paws on something thats been elusive... first salvo....you thing that communist china want to regulate the internet, well information/disinformation is a critical control that our government exercises over us... governments ( most any government) needs to do so.... Why not after CSCO, ORCL, ...... now that technology has been "opened"..the lawyer rats should be coming out of the woodwork.... Oh no.... black helicopters buzzing around outside LOL!!! A long time ago I was involved with a bunch of Russian Scientists, we were discussing flight and I mentioned Wright Brothers first flight.. they said No No Dr. Shea, Dmitri blah blah blah was the first person to fly.... I laughed internally, then asked myself... who WAS the first... do we really know????... information/disinformation.
