Economist: Microsoft crossed the line zdnet.com The economist who helped IBM Corp. mount its defense against antitrust charges in the 1970s now says Microsoft Corp. has crossed the line that defines illegal behavior in the market place. In 100 pages of written testimony released this morning. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Franklin Fisher told federal Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson that Microsoft has maintained a 95-percent market share of PC operating systems sold thanks to a wide variety of anticompetitive practices. In addition, he said, the company has tried to extend that Windows monopoly to the market for Internet browser software, thereby implicating the whole of electronic commerce in its actions. Well it sure looks like MS spin doctors have their work cut out with that testimony. Another nail in MS coffin. The question is how many nails do they need to break them up. I think they have enough by my count. JMHO Mike

Bearded - Windows NT 5.0, which was to be known principally for its directory services? IMO, NT [what\|when]ever won't be a success in the places it needs to be a success until it loses it's dependency on a GUI to admin. the OS. The inability to remotely admin a box that's in a closet in Guam using nothing more that vt100 termcap is hurting MSFT's penetration into lots of markets. There is no such thing as a server, in the 'enterprise-ready' sense of the word, that needs a gui to admin the box. -justinb
