Reggie,

"I know the Israeli, erupean, Indian and Asian software vendors are hoping the gov't. puts the Whammy on MSFT so they can tach the U.S. how "unconcentrated" the power in the software techology can really get."

Notice how the "unconcentrated" power of ATT gave all those foreign national telephone companies "the edge" that destroyed forever the U.S. dominance in telecommunications!

Give Yeltsin a call and get his opinion on inheriting Randian single-source industries. Better yet, ask the average Russian.

Another vocabulary builder if you will:

Socialist Realism - an artistic or literary style in some socialist countries, as the U.S.S.R., that characteristically celebrates an idealized vision of the life and industriousness of the workers.

Sounds like the essence of the "Windows Experience" concept to me.

Cheers,

Norm

Reg -

but when revealing the pure facts, MSFT is right.

Geez, Reg. Get a grip! MSFT is lying. If anything destroys competition in a free market, is lying and deception. Let the free market prevail, but in an environment of truth, not lies.

>>> Therefore, it is unnecessary to force them to extricate thier bundled code. If
you don't like it, don't use it, period.

Would you make the same argument in the automobile industry if one company controlled 90+% of the industry and the only competition's cars only worked on half of the roads because of proprietary road-to-car interfaces that MSFT designed and controlled?
