You're full of it, Blankmind. (Apt moniker, btw.) Lot's of Democrats are supporting Microsoft. This is a regional issue politically, not a partisan one. It's California, Utah, and Virginia vs. Washington state. You can't find more vociferous supporters of MSFT than Washington state Democratic Gov. Gary Locke and Republican Senator Slade Gorton. The party doesn't make the difference here.

OK guys back to MSFT: I did not know Office2000 was going to be this good. It is going to be a big money maker; probably better than Windows98 upgrades. This story mentions some features of Office and prices. quote.bloomberg.com

Let's stop right here and now if we cannot have intelligent and honest discussion about this subject. My senator is a Democrat, she likes every one. My congressman is a Republican, he hates everything. If you don't hate anything, he will make you hate something. BTW, my political IQ is too high to listen to you.

PMJI, bm, but your broad, sweeping comment that "Democrats despise private industry..." is ridiculous. The fact is that the so-called anti-trust action is motivated by state versus state industry rivalries. It's Senator versus Senator, based on what company has the most influence (contributions/employees) in their constituent state. As far as the fact that DoJ is more active now than it was 6-7 years ago--that doesn't mean that Dems are against big business. It means that DoJ under the Dems does tend to interfere more PLUS, the business landscape has dramatically changed since 1992. We are no longer in a recession. High tech has taken off. BTW, as I recall, Orin Novell Hatch started all this when we had a Republican president.
