MS sez: You have freedom of choice

Microsoft maintains that it is only providing the features consumers want, and that its customers will benefit from Windows XP if they choose to buy it.

This would be true if people buying new machines at Best Buy, Dell or Gateway had any options besides which Microsoft OS to buy.

Don't you see what your supposed "good laws" are getting us? The California power failures for one. Though not specifically an anti-trust case, the government is regulating them to death!! And speak for yourself in regards to the state of things in the late 19th century. Myself, and many other think that was much closer to the way things should be. I grant that this isn't the majority opinion, but there are others in favor of it than just the corporate giants.
