Mario, and anyone else reading this thread, what do you think of the capitolistic (sp) right of MSFT to be able to control all portions of the internet by way of their operating system ??? Do they have this right ??? Why couldn't they, if they so choose, direct people to use their browser, portal, search engine, banking system, voting rights, etc. They control 90% of the PC operating systems world wide. They can integrate ANYTHING into their operating system to give themselves an upper hand in ANY INTERNET MARKET present or future. This is a VERY real possibility. I for one am against too much government control, however in MSFT's case I think it is essential that they break up this monopoly before Billy boy controls the entire world. I'm surprised Bill hasn't bought up all of South East Asia at these fire sale prices. I guess I'm getting alittle obsessed with MSFT. You you think MSFT is watching us now through their WINDOWS......DJF
