Karin, from your post that was pulled from another thread -- But why stop (or start) with browsers? If Reno is right, we would all be better off if Windows didn't include word-processing software either. Or calculators and calendars. Or modem drivers and disk compression utilities. Microsoft released its first operating system in 1981, and has continually enhanced its product with new features. What is it about this feature -- Internet Explorer -- that the government finds so objectionable? Indeed, why stop with browsers? MSFT should add their entire office suite, money, more utility software, full suite of internet web tools and web server, hey even throw in games! That way they can just get rid of all the evil competition and we consumers won't have to decide from who to buy products, everything will be on the OS and we can simply download updates from the MSFT web site! While we are at it, should we really have choice with elected government officials? Wouldn't it really be easier to install a dictator who would represent the best interest of all of us and take us where we want to go? Why have freedom of choice? I don't understand.
