Steve, <the entire point of captialism is every man for himself.> I disagree. Pure laissez-faire would be just as bad as letting the government have its way with everything. The difference is that it'd be the businesses throwing their weight around, instead of the government. Tenchusatsu

OT << I ask again, what has microsoft done that other companies don't at least attempt to do. NOTHING.. the entire point of captialism is every man for himself. >> By your entire argument, you are saying that innovation should lose to marketing. That the quality of a product is meaningless, and companies should be able to do whatever they want. I'm sorry, but I think that goes much farther against the concepts behind capitalism than the current anti-trust laws.
