Shaquapa, thanks for the response. Fair enough. I've 100shs of MSFT and 0shs of NSCP. It's a monopony, by design/accident. There is NO reason for MSFT to integrate IE with OS other than leveraging the monopony. So, someone said NSCP wants to 'kill Microsoft' and MSFT knew they lost a step. Instead of putting IE on the store front and said, hey we have a much better product, don't buy NSCP's stuff, MSFT chose a tactic to regain the lost step(s) and created all the uncessary hoopla. Is DOJ wasting the money or MSFT causing DOJ wasting the Money? I asked the same question for Bill Clinton's mess. Is Clinton causing the cost of the investigation? Sorry, off topic. I know, I know, MSFT is the only one innovative enough to integrate browser with OS and MSFT even claims the OS may not work if the browser is removed, what a concept. I think Bill Gate /MSFT is finally insane. There is more than enough space for everyone, well, maybe. Apparently, Bill/MSFT see it that the empire is about to fall if NSCP occupies that 'growing space' or something like that. I'll ask this question again: If there is no NSCP, will IE be freely included in winXX? I don't think so. Do you?

*****off topic**** But not exactly: why you should be pro Gates and anti DOJ; and re entitlement programs: Excellent post. You should see the results of entitlement programs in schools (I am a teacher). Children of "entitled" parents get more and more apathetic and more and more expectant of someone else doing for them. Parents stop making breakfast and lunch (after all the school does it for them) and for lazy people being forced (through circumstances of course never through law) to work gives their life meaning, being allowed through programs to do nothing makes them leeches. Its an easy life, but you are quite right, it is devoid of meaning and makes people dependent which in turn makes them resentful. Dedistribution of wealth is immoral and unconscionable freeus
