<The inability of the softies to use analogy really throws me.> There is no need to, the higher courts have spoken. Dan, here is the precedence you wanted so bad. Face it, the DOJ has nothing of substance and its actions are primarily lobbyist based. We all knew it whether we admitted it or not, and now that it starts to fall apart, we act as if it is a surprise. I hate to say I told you so, but,,,, I told you so.

If Windows were the road, MSFT would dictate what car you could buy to drive on it. If Windows were the car (which it soon would be if Windows had previously been the road), MSFT would try to dictate what packages you could buy and carry in the trunk. Next they would rule on what family members you could let ride with you, after paying the per-seat licensing for the 'extra' seats in the car. Cars with extra seats would be known as Windows NT. Is this the best you can do? Talk about lame-o analogy. Windows is the road for most home and small business PC users. MSFT doesn't make the cars. Dell, CPQ, IBM, etc., make the cars. AAPL made a road but only allowed their own cars to drive on it. Not too smart. Besides, if you don't like the road, take the train or fly a plane. <g>
