<Blah, blah. Sez who? If you can't see the amazing innovations occurring before your> Says lots - lot at the telephone industry when it was a monopoly. Look at airline's . . . all the amazing innovations are not coming from the monopolies now are they? What amazing inventions has Microsoft come up with - the standard quip is that Microsoft cannot allow Apple to die because they would lose their R&D department.

James, AMEN! Hey, Mo, do you think all the entrepreneurs and inventors would get real excited about watching the government usurp the legitimate rights of a property owner (MSFT)? Think that would really juice 'em up to go out and innovate, knowing that if they are successful, someone will come along and strip it away without recourse?? By that logic, shouldn't we be going after Home Depot, WalMart, Kodak, Scott's Lawn Products, .... yadda yadda yadda With very few exceptions, a free market will self-correct through astute consumers buying what they want. Don't want Windows on your system? Don't buy a PC with Windows. If enough people do it, the OEMs will react.

<<the amazing innovations occurring before your eyes>> You probably consider Windows 98 an 'amazing innovation.' <<New "property" is being created at a rate unprecedented in human history.>> Yes, but from Microsoft? Yea, right. Windows 95=Apple 84 <<When pipsqueak jackboot wannabes like Robert "3rd" Reich>> All I say to that is when pipsqueak jackboot wannabes like Bill "I want to own the world" Gates dominate technology, you'll discover that the slogan "Where do you want to go today" is really a rhetorical question.

What have you been smoking? MSFT has singlehandedly destroyed the modern American free enterprise system in the software sector. Venture capital for software startups that compete in any way, shape, or form with MSFT (that's almost all of them) is virtually inaccessible. Kind of like access to capital in Russia right now. Tom

Innovation is not all there is in this world. It has to be coupled with something else or it will die. A lot has been said about MS not being an innovator but a "copycat"; that MS just copied Apple's OS and so on and so forth; but in all truth it is thanks to MS and its brilliant marketing strategy that we are pecking at these computers day in and day out, at reasonable prices, even though we had to suffer for a while the horrors of DOS. Apple innovated indeed, but for who's benefit? and, do you remember its prices?
