Please, over 200 posts have been on this on a previous thread. Let's wait
and just see what happens. IMHO, businesses unless breaking the law like
forcing me or you to buy something, or espionage, or treason, ad nausea--
should be able to run their business without government interference. Why
penalize those who do well. So what if Microsoft has a large share of OS's
and apps.... they've done well. If smaller companies cannot make it too bad.
No one forces you to buy Microsoft products. Buy something else. I think it,
myself, that it is quite cheezy that Microsoft does not publish various
windows commands for others to use to make applications. But, rememeber,
Microsoft wrote it and did all the work, if I were the president of Microsoft,
Bill Gates, or Bill the Cat, I DON'T have to disclose anything I don't want
to competitors, and I should not have to, or be coerced by our government to
do so. The government rats in everyones business and every business.
If you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen. I admire Microsoft for their
such-quick rise in sales and market leadership. It's just jealously on the part
of those who cannot compete... Get out of our way US Goernment.
