You are absolutely correct! For one, I am very tired of the Linux community bagging out on Microsoft. For what they are actually doing is cutting down tall poppies.
In my experience many geeks have an unhealthy disregard for business practices, and the criticisms of Microsoft are founded on a lack of commercial knowledge.
I'm glad the DOJ found MS to be a Monopoloy. They are. Hopefully steps will now be taken to encourage a more competitive environment. But I refuse to take seriously any comment that Microsoft hasn't been innovative. I have Win98 and Linux on my PC. I use Win98 98% of the time, simply because it's user friendly, and it has applications that are powerful and functional.
