Reggie, >>The US Govt. is not charged with the care and representation of dynamic competition, it is charged with the care adn representation of the people who elected it. Your assumption that competition is to be protected in lieu of the consumer is ambiguous at best or flat out wrong as I see it. Look up "Section 8 Powers of Congress" from The Constitution; they do have the power to regulate interstate commerce. The Judicial Branch interprets the Constitution not you or I. We know Bill plays golf with the Executive Branch but he has to learn about this Checks and Balances thing we have in this country. If Microsoft is really using "unfair trade practices" to build its empire then racketeering and not capitalism is at work. Hardly an environment which promotes efficiency or free-market forces. A corporation which has nothing to hide would not be reacting as desperately as Microsoft is. It will be interesting what the investigation digs up with those subpoenas and witnesses from Compaq and Dell... Cheers, Norm
