Larry, >No, there is no coercion whatsoever.< Read your own post. Get into the real world. I'm long MSFT simply because they have that power, and because they have used it. Good Investing

Right on Larry, force is the government, coming at you (or me or Microsoft) with guns and threats of asset forfeiture or jail. Coercion is not saying "I wont trade with you if you dont do it my way" although admittedly it would be hard to sell a computer without Windows in it. But why would it be hard to sell a computer without Windows in it????? Because Bill Gates knows his stuff that's why and he deserves to do what he wants with his own ideas---jealousy is rampant in this country. Ever read "resentment against achievement"? The title says it all, and its a very sad statement on American people today. Best wishes. Hope Microsoft splits at 160 Freeus
