Finding Justice In The Digital Economy techweb.com

This is a really old article on my favorite topic, from when the current case was just breaking open. Just stumbled onto it while looking for more up-to-date info. Make of it what you will, it's in the spirit of more recent articles in the reply chain here.

But more than this, the latest action by Justice is an attempt by the department to assert itself and define its role in the new economy, and the economy's digital frontier.

At the end of the day, if Microsoft's business practices are stifling innovation, then clearly America, and Microsoft itself, is going to be the big loser.


Cheers, Dan.

Daniel,

Here I am and IE4 for UNIX is soooo sloooooow, but hey it has a ready excuse in that it's "beta". It will probably be the longest beta in history, IMHO.

InfectionX, err ActiveX is of course missing.

PS: Blah blah, #include <std_disclaimer.h> about my company and who speaks for who.

I give up, but did you buy?

>>>And by the way, what ever happened to IE4 for Unix? Where's Eric Lindstrom? While we're at it, what ever happened to "open" ActiveX?<<<

What the heck happened to Thomas Reardon, for that matter. He was the highest MS staffer signing on here under his real name, I think. It would be interesting to compare his take on all this today with that of 6 months ago.
