Are they too big to be looked at or have they bought off so many politicians that they are too corrupt to prosecute. Europe seems to have the right approach. While this investigation is about labor pools and collusion there needs to be a major effort to look at restraint of trade on the sell side. A 90% market share coupled with the practices M$ uses, including buying off standards committees, Norway for example, and bribing African nations to not use Linux when it is obvious that the people of the nation will not see a cent until it has been filtered through the pockets of the power people and most of it salted away in Swiss bank accounts, should at least be cause for asking some questions, no matter how much of congress they now own. Their practices make Carnegie and Rockefeller look like amateurs.

I was forced to take Vista. I tried it. It couldn't find anything on my network except my fax machine and the user interface for a modular print server, but not the printer. I finally hard coded the address and then it had driver issues. The printer was a plain vanilla HP laserjet. I replaced Vista ASAP with Ubuntu which immediately connected to everything. I wasted 90 minutes downloading approximately 150 updates out of the box. I guess HP didn't care if it was current or maybe Vista has so many issues that it needed that many new updates during shipping.
