This has been the most publicized (if not expensive on a per diem basis) effort on behalf of the DOJ in recent history I must as usual note the cheesy high school debate technique. Expensive on a per diem basis? Compared to say, the war on (some) drugs? What constitutes "recent history"? Don't ask, don't tell seems a wise policy here. Cheers, Dan.

Reginald, Politicians are not going to go against the general voting public's wishes, I think that DOJ vs. MSFT is an issue that the majority of the "unwashed masses" don't give a damn about, one way or the other. PC's continue to get faster with more features (bloat, for you MSFT haters) and prices continue to drop. Nothing for the general public to get worked up about. Of course, if and when the govt succeeds in jamming a wrench in the Wintel machine, the populace may become slightly more aroused. The consequences will extend far beyond "punishing the evil monopolists". BTW, I find it amusing the way the Sherman Act and other anti-trust statutes are viewed by some on this thread. These obscene pieces of statist crap are treated with almost reverential awe. Regards, JB
