I don't like Microsoft.
However, in case anyone hasn't noticed, the US economy just collapsed. We are in a major recession, posting the worst economic indicators since 1945, and with some economists painting an even darker picture drawing parallels that foreshadow another Great Depression.
Now I know monopolies are evil and such but...am I the only person who is thinking that right now just might not be the right time to be attacking US companies and trying to tear them down with massive class action suits? Perhaps once everyone has a job again and isn't going to lose their house, then maybe we could worry about this?
I'll be the first to admit I was on the front lines frothing at the mouth to tear down Microsoft when the anti-trust litigation was going on years ago, but right now isn't the time people. Perspective is needed here.
