Dwight E. Karlsen -- Re: <<Correction: You think that Microsoft has violated the rules. The DOJ also thinks that Microsoft has violated the rules. You're right though in that Microsoft will have to answer the charges.>> Technically, we're both wrong in saying that microsoft will have to answer the charges. A comet could destroy the earth before then. Which is about as likely as microsoft not having violated the rules. <<Bill Gates doesn't tell you what's best for you. If you like his product, you buy it. If you don't like it, there are alternatives.>> Not viable ones, and that's one of the main issues! <<Dell doesn't offer a PC without the OS preloaded, and as a private store...>> And why might that be? Also, correction: Dell is a publicly owned corporation. <<Perhaps your idea of a good government-mandated solution is to require Dell Computer to offer PCs with any software of your choosing preloaded? Oh I know: Let's have OS quotas.>> Oh I know: why don't we just have competition? Because microsoft won't let us! Enter the DOJ and 20 states! Best Regards, M31
