By the government intervening, it's only a slash against free enterprise. The government has it's own monopolies. If people don't like Windows, then simple, don't use it.
There is no other intervention other than the government, however, that shouldn't happen because it undermines capitalism and freedom.
I'm tired of all these Linux users crying out to Big Brother. Microsoft should fall because of its own mistakes and they will sooner of later.
That's exactly the deal. MR named it Lindows to cause controversy and to draw attention to the product by changing the first letter of Windows. That's all well and good and I would support him except for his anti-American and anti-freedom rhetoric. "Please Mr. Government, save us from Big Bad Gates and Big Bad Microsoft. We are nothing Mr. Government, but you are our Big Brother and we need you to defend us. Please Mr. Government, protect us!". What bologna!!! You don't like Microsoft? Don't buy their products. Give Linux CDs to people who don't know about it or introduce Linux to them. Instead of complaining and looking to government to vanquish capitalism, change the scene you don't like yourself. Remember, the government has their own monopolies. The less government intervenes, the better.
I'm all for the ending of Microsoft's empire, but not through GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION!!! The only reason the liberals were so hard on Microsoft's butt is because it was something they could control. They didn't want Gates to have the monopoly, because they wanted to have it!!! Are people so blinded that they can't see this?
I'm tired of people making comments about Bush and about Republicans. It's because of Republicans that we still have our freedom. Bush's America is a free America...and that includes free enterprise. I'm no fan of Microsoft, but it comes down to this. Do I want Bill Gates to control the computer industry right now or the US Government to do so. I'll choose Bill Gates as the lesser of the two evils.
If anyone wants Government control move to Cuba. Then you can revel in your communist glory.
Because of the comments some of these distribution companies (linux) make, it doesn't make me want to support their product.
I'm proud to be a Republican and I'm proud of our Republic. Sooner or later Microsoft will fall but it should fall on its own and not because some court split it up.

That is sick and you are jealous.
