MSFT CEO Gates understands better than he is aware: "this ruling would not allow us to develop software in the same manner we have in the past" exactly, that is why the ruling was made what an idiot "chilling effect on innovation in the high tech industry" Bill, do you mean as in the internet browser sector? I dont think so, my guess is 99.9% probability of the contrary DoJ Klein sounded brilliant, deep, informed, and dedicated he knew some aspects of the Windows/ Office relationships better than I do he expected Office could evolve into its own platform !!! excellent point Office vs Windows (gotta love it) R.Edwards: "dont go too far" the point is not to abuse power, to leverage success illegally thru mafia tactics in order to gain foothold in new markets I fully expect Qualcomm to be targeted for dominance maybe in year 2005 movement against QCOM would accelerate only if felonious business practices are utilized the key is NOT to abuse power, to compete in new areas fairly Intel is not in court, remember that well actually they have been once or twice they illegally withheld info, and changed their practices Daisy: when Gates abdicated CEO post last month, clear message "breakup of MSFT is a fait accompli" / JWCB
