I believe that all the currently proposed remedies are inadequate, and propose that Microsoft simply be permanently banned from producing any Internet based product. Would you consider that an appropriate remedy and would you support it?
I would have liked AMD to buy BeOS, its just a fantasy on my part, but I dream about AMD coming out with an inexpensive 8 processor workstation running BeOS.
I don't much care about Napster, at least not for downloading music. However the question is do we want Napster to exist, if so the best course of action would be to cease buying music from the big 5 record companies until their own bloated weight forced them into extinction, at which point a better music distribution system would evolve in their place. Although I don't think Napster is that better system.

BeOS will not load on my Dell OptiPlex Gx110. All it does is continuosly reboot.
