The key in what you say, with which I agree, is that it's "for the courts to decide." They have decided in the case of Microsoft; Enron is still at the "innocent until proven guilty" stage. I _don't_ necessarily agree that laws need to be "shored up" whenever there are innocent victims, nor that the victims of Enron were innocent -- after all, greed is one of the seven deadly sins, and in order to have lost significant sums on Enron, some component of greed was necessary. Caveat emptor. Microsoft's victim is society in general, and the free market in particular. That's why it's hard to identify specific victims. JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)
