>>Exxon has probably gouged 25 billion this year alone. And how much did they spend to achieve that number? BTW, do you think you could at least have a clue of how oil and gas are really priced in the market.

I figure a buck a gallon is being gouged by price-fixing. Pre-installed software costs about $2 per copy to MSFT (if that!), and they sell it to you for $200. THAT is price gouging. They make Exxon look like a charity. But that doesn't interest you because Bill's last name isn't Bush..... SO we can guess that the current gasoline shortage is all phony too. There is no shortage of pre-installed software with a 100x markup. MSFT doesn't even make up any excuses, they just charge you up the wazoo because they are a monopoly in the PC operating system industry.
