Another way to look at it: those laws have stood the test of time. JMHO.

Ed and Krnjeu, Those are some of the dumbest statements made in at least a few days here on the MSFT board (I can recall the last couple clearly - those that just responded to me). First with Krnjeu's statments. I am very glad that you are basically coming to that conclusion that MSFT is guilty and you are only mad that they are the 1% that the Government is currently going after. And Ed concurs with Krnjeu from his last statement. Its about time that some of you woke up and started to realize that the courts are going to come up to the same OFFICIAL conclusion that you already know. As for Ed's statement that the law are not meant for our times. I would guess then the laws that protect a healthy competition in an industry is considered to be not needed anymore. Companies with monopolies should have no controls placed upon them to ensure that they do not use their dominant control of one product / service to unfairly take control of other products or services that they originally had no hope in competing with the current market leaders. According to Ed, any law that is constantly broken should be repealed or removed because its a sign of the times that the law is out-dated. So, based on that we should remove Murder, Speed-Limits on highways, theft, and the countless other laws that have been put their for a reason. WAKE UP ED! WHAT A STUPID STUPID STATEMENT! Companies that break laws do it either unknowingly or feel they won't get caught. They dont do it because of a protest to show the world that the law is not needed. Quit whining with all the other Pro-MSFTers that feel that they are unfairly picked on by the Government for being taken to task for consistently breaking the Anti-Trust laws. It was only a matter of time. LIVE WITH IT! MSFT will be in court on several fronts and they will likely be charged on at least some of the offenses. I think the DOJ / States case is a likely one. Toy
