With any luck some of that excess profit on Win98 will pay for a lawyer to appeal this and when a correct conclusion based on the FoF end this witch hunt we can vote in an administration that will update the law to reflect the current economic conditions. when a company with only 60 percent market share is called a monopoly the judge must have taken new math. MS may not be a fun company or a good OS company but if they get their hands tied the ripple in the software industry will be big. be careful what you wish for you might just get it. I am not and never have been a MS employee. I do want the oprotunity to profit from my hard work and this decision is worse than all the software piracy that goes on each day. Remember things have effects on down the line and you just might be the next in line.
Ok big guy the first mistake you made is thinking that the Interpretation is correct. If it is then some day if you create something that becomes popular instead of becomeing filthy rich you will have to spend all your money on lawyers in anit trust casses. This was a bad decission that if it stands will hurt all inovators. We do need to update the law to reflect changes in the economy but all you free software people remeber or go learn two basic economic principles. First THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH. Second what is becoming legal precident and is now good for one software company will apply to all software companies if this disaster stands. I am glad to see you want to give all your hard work away and earn your money at McDonalds. take a course in economics and or business law and get a grip of reality in a free market. Your brain must be adversely effected by your monitor.
