Duke, I have to say I agree with you, Connecticut, and Microsoft on this one. I do think that Microsoft in fact overcharges for Windows, and is only able to do so because it can leverage monopoly power, but that's not the point. The point in this case is that this particular plaintiff isn't the right guy to be suing Microsoft for this particular abuse of antitrust law. The DoJ should be doing that, and absent a responsible DoJ (as the U.S. is, at least until the next presidential election remedies that, assuming that Bush's junta is going to continue to allow presidential elections, but I digress), some collection of state AGs should be suing Microsoft. Fortunately, several states DO have the money, the legal mettle, and the political resolve to take on Microsoft. Let's just hope these state AGs don't cash Microsoft's fat lobby checks and go home the way Dubya's whores did. Dave
