(T)he anti-trust laws are written to protect the consumer. Actually, the anti-trust laws were written to protect the businesses that compete against the "monopoly." Somebody a couple of hundred posts ago posted how a company becomes a monopoly according to those laws, and harming the consumer was not one of the criteria. Just a little clarification. Jack

Cheryl, you are obviously against microsoft and I am for it. So, here is why Microsoft is not harmful the consumers - Antitrust laws don't belong in an environment where a company has to improve its product in order to survice. AT&T and Standard oil did not have to. You would have had to buy the same quality oil and phone lines again and again. Microsoft needs to improve its product all the time, otherwise, it can't survive and hence the consumer benefits by Microsoft's attempt to survive and prosper. Obviously a moron like you can't understand that, nor does the judge or the DOJ. They will lose in the appeals court. Watch!
