>So break up Microsoft and bailout GM, Ford, and Chrysler just because you think the American auto industry hasn't done that much less than Microsoft over the past five years? I'd actually consider breaking up the car companies. And I'd definitely break up the large investment banks. -Z

"So break up Microsoft" MS is much less of a monopoly than Intel. It's got Apple, Linux and Google all competing for it's OS space. Long term, I think Google wins over them all. I keep adding Google stuff, gmail, iGoogle is my home page, Chrome is my browser. As long as I can get on the internet, my OS isn't relevant. Google keeps putting stuff out that works and I like. It's long been rumored that they are doing a lightweight OS that just connects you to their net stuff.
