what do you call microsoft's 30%? How about extortion. But, chickens are coming home to roost. Microsoft is going to have plenty of trouble getting people to move to Vista, given their history of 'quality' and using their community as an extended QA. At least Exxon gas doesn't cause my car to crash or invade my home with popup gas pumps...

Why is the GOP rightwing always defending pollutors and gas gougers? Exxon has made the greatest windfall profits in the history of the planet for the last few years, and no coincidence Bush-Cheney, two oilmen, are in power. Not only that but Exxon is fighting a never-ending battle to lie to the citizens, cover up their pollution and damage to our environment, defeat efficiency and conservation bills which destroys our auto industry and stoke the fires for more wars in the Middle East. They deserve to be thoroughly regulated and fined, the biggest fines in the history of the planet to match their windfall profits. But first we need thorough investigations to find out who decided to double the cost of gasoline and other energy forms. Me-bets Dick Cheney had something to do with it too.
