Bill Gates is either totally stupid or he thinks the consumers are totally stupid. I don't think the former is true.

To use a Coca Cola/Pepsi example totally insults consumer intelligence. There are, at any given time, hundreds of soft drinks competiting for the same consumers. No one has over 90% of the market. Making this comparison is an outright lie.

If this is the direction MSFT is going to fight, they have already lost. The justice department should point out that it is not DOJ who wants to dictate what Windows should be, it is MSFT who is so arrogant that they can ignore the anti-trust laws.

I agree it was choppy. I suspect there were quite a few people tuned in. They also showed an HP system with Netscape Communicator right on the desktop out of the box.

My wife is Czech, and we talked about the suit today at breakfast. She's pretty surprised by it all and somewhat disillusioned about the US free market. Said she'd expect this kind of thing from the Czech govt pre-revolution, but not here.
