"The truth of the matter is that it never mattered what attorneys MS had. It was never about antitrust or the law, and still isn't."
Ah, I wondered when the "vast right-wing (or left-wing, pick your poison) conspiracy" card would be thrown. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I suppose I'd rather be playing in the "kiddie pool" than drowning in the murky depths of self-delusion. The problem, Sam, is you're blinded by your own dazzling intellect. Microsoft is a convicted monopolist, it's been decided in multiple courts in multiple countries, and those are the facts as we know them. You're entitled to disagree with that position, but to imply that anyone who disagrees with you is an imbecile, well, that's just obnoxious. Particularly when those who disagree with you have the courts behind us.
And as far as governments not being able to effectively deal with monopolists, you're absolutely right. However, it HAS been nice not to have to rent a telephone from the phone company for the last 20+ years.
Perhaps someday I'll be able to visit every website I'd like on the Internet without having to use IE. Hope springs eternal.
