Duke, I believe that M$FT is guilty of anti-trust violations and should be punished. However, I also agree with Alan Buckley that the punishment should point toward corrective action and not be punitive in nature. Some of the benefits of the lawsuit have already come to pass: more freedom in the desktop market for competitors and the advent of thin-clients. In my mind M$FT has to be restrained from using it's O/S to leverage its applications. It would be easier to just expropriate Windows and give it to a committee to maintain and leave M$FT intact. The code such a mess now, M$FT may even welcome it.
