Re: "O.K., I do not exactly get your point. So if I kill someone and claim self-defense (i.e., Netscape); does it not seem odd that you are setting yourself up to kill someone else again using the same strategies you have used in the past. If they kill someone else again (i.e., by bundling) they can be convicted of murder twice." Oh so I guess AOL paid all that money for a "dead" body (i.e., Netscape!) in your opinion? "Kudlow: Cracks in the Government?s Case" http://www.cnbc.com/commentary/commentary_full_story_Markets.asp?storyid=18096 Former Reagan-Bush legal adviser Boyden Grey argued in the Wall Street Journal that Microsoft's so-called monopoly really was a function of America Online, not Microsoft. That is, when AOL decided to purchase the Microsoft browser, then the Washington State software maker saw its market share jump from roughly 40 percent to 60 percent. AOL is the 900-pound gorilla in the software applications world. Its decisions are crucial in determining market share. Now that the portal provider has acquired Netscape, however, and intends to use the Navigator 6 browser system, Microsofties expect their market share to drop back to around 40 percent. And I guess one of Netscape parents is sleeping with it's murder in your opinion? http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/000622/n22417122.html Netscape co-founder allies with ex-nemesis Microsoft My point is it aint over til it's over appeals has to run it's course. If you want to consider MSFT a murder all I can say is Netscape would have killed MSFT if given the chance! TTOSBT
