Technology Stocks : How high will Microsoft fly? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

The big question: Will James include Windows XP in any possible remedy?

How on earth could you have an effective remedy to Microsoft's ongoing abuses of antitrust law if that remedy only applies to products that Microsoft no longer ships? By the time the remedy is implemented, even XP may be obsolete. The remedy obviously has to apply to all current and future Microsoft products and behaviors. The Perfect Remedy is a very difficult cat to nail down, so to speak, which is why a structural remedy, although imprecise, may be the only possible solution.

I think the thing Microsoft fears most is a free and open market, and that's what antitrust law seeks to ensure. I certainly hope the DOJ will enforce the law vigorously and effectively, without being swayed by politics. As a consumer, you should, too.

JMHO.
