Thanks for the insight. My ultra-capitalist stomach is churning at the thought of the DOJ mandating a break up. I guess I overlooked the news reports stating that M$ was paying less than acceptable wage rates to its workers or that, through bad investment practices, M$ has squandered away the millions and billions (trillions?) with which its investors have entrusted it. If so, then I apologize, and FLAME ON! I know somebody wants to anyway.
But making a shitload has never been against the law in itself. Having the foresight to license and market your product in such a way as to make it hard for your competitors, though, is not shitty, it's shrewd. I guess we don't like to recognize that anymore.
I agree, let the market decide. That's what we all are anyway. If you don't like a product, code your own or buy another. And if enough people feel the same way, then the better product will emerge.
