It's not just the Feds after MS. Where is Ralph Nader? Still waiting for him to get into the fray.

Anti-Microsoft group hires Dole
www5.zdnet.com
Sources close to the Microsoft battle say that a group of the company's rivals have hired one of Washington's heaviest hitters, former U.S. senator and Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, to help them in their fight against the software leader. (Microsoft is a partner in the joint venture that operates MSNBC.)

Microsoft critics say the antitrust case against the company is not just about whether the software-maker illegally bundles its Internet Explorer software with its Windows operating system. The fight is really about whether one company will dominate Internet software and commerce.

<Since when are we in the present on this thread? Forward P/E's, Models which ignore past and present earnings; future cash flows. Suddenly the present is all that's important. We's been saying that all along, it looks like you may be finally coming around.>

<Yeah, Americans historically jump the gun; kind of like the way we pre-empted Hitler over that Poland/France thing. Those Feds, always worrying about protecting our future...>

My history books say we stood out of it until it came to us, ex. Pearl Harbor
