<< Thanks Mike!! >> Guess again Melanie. YOU are the one that is making the comments about the Red Herring and completely ignoring the content of the article. I could care less about whether or not a magazine "likes" some company. Are the allegations true or not? That's all that we should care about on the Microsoft thread. Go to the Red Herring thread if you want to talk about journalism. Mike

Show me one company who doesn't have a strategy to deal with competition and gain market share and I will show you companies on the way to bankrupcy and being bought out! Yes!!!! Of course, the company strategy should including following the law. Somehow, most of the hundreds of thousands of businesses in this country have strategies which include following the law. Is Microsoft really that weak that it has to trample all over antitrust laws to succeed? If so, then it deserves to go under. Or are you saying that eavesdropping on other company executives, putting faux error messages about competing software, and using monopolistic advantage to force OEMs to not including competing software should all be legal? (caveat-- none of this has been proven, I'm just working under the assumptions that Melanie made, namely, that it's all not that big a deal.)
