Corporations cannot FORCE you to buy their products or services. Government, on the other hand, is literally nothing BUT the use of force. Corporations - which are the creation of government - can only stifle competition by using political connections. Are you really unable to understand that simple a concept?

Even better - take all of the power to interfere with everyone's life that politicians have usurped over the years and no one will bother to bribe them. No power, no corruption. We don't need more laws - we need less government.

How can any entity that has plenty of competitors be considered a monopoly? Do lawyers, especially government lawyers, ever manage to learn the English language?

FWIW, I installed SP3 on my machine the other day without a hitch, and I haven't experienced any problems since then, either. I'm running on an AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 2.2 GHz, with 512 Mb RAM.
