Dwight and all - Here is an interesting statement I found regarding Microsoft and the Sherman Anti Trust act. Read the last paragraph carefully. Sounds like the government has it's work cut out. A 108-year-old law created to stop monopolies from unfairly dominating America's early industrial growth is the government's chief weapon in its antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890 to keep corporate powerhouses of that era from forming ''trusts'' to buy competitors, force others out of business and raise prices. The Microsoft case tests the law's limits. Prosecutors must show the company used its software dominance to squeeze rivals as well as consumers, a challenge to prove at a time of falling computer prices.
