Thanks Russ. While I disagree with your conclusions, I find your post quite interesting and one that leaves me with some homework to do in order to satisfy my own curiosity. Mike

<<If Microsoft feels that the antitrust laws do not apply to them, I say Congress should pass a law specifically exempting Microsoft from both antitrust and copyright laws. We've got to keep the government out of the software industry completely, right?>> Exactamundo, Yolanda. To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson in "Pulp Fiction", "We gotta keep the muttafckin' government out of the muttafckin' software industry." The copyright laws protects intellectual property, but hey Russ, (since we're all being ironical here), property is theft, right? And we don't need to repeal the laws, just go to court and sue. That's what we have the tort system. If you have a case, you will get an equitable remedy. And, it's not just Microsoft that benefits from the copyright laws. That's just what MSFT is doing, seeking redress in the courts from incorrectly interpreted law. Your rhetoric sounds like you favor doing away with due process under the law and replacing it with social engineering and micromanagement of commerce by the Executive and Legislative branches. Ciao, Daniel PS. Another incognito flame artist, guys. Notice how these guys like to blow in and expect instant credibility without the courtesy of a profile.
