isn't it funny how all these companies (sun, oracle, netscape, aol) loathed microsoft to the point of wishing they be destroyed are now crying as their stocks plummet 25 to 50%. the justice department, for fear of the standard oil monopoly rearing its ugly head, wastes millions of taxpayer dollars in attempt to stifle capitalism. yes, i said stifle capitalism. markets always play themselves out. the court's involvement should go only as far as extinguishing criminal practices, not capitalistic markets. i wonder if Judge Jackson shorted microsoft stock before his announcement? we should thank microsoft for what they have given us, not destroy them.
THANK YOU MICROSOFT. i know personal computers wouldn't be nearly as advanced as they are without you. al gore didn't invent the internet and neither did microsoft. but, they did make it available to the masses.
