From what I have read this whole thing about war on the internet, they should spend the money fortifying what we have (the internet infrastructure), because the next war if it is fought with computers won't need any aircraft of other weapons, and the body count will probably be considerably less than the present methods of warfare.
It is refreshing to see someone who thinks like I have been for the past few years. Micros??t is too big for its pants and should be brought back to reality. I have great reapect for the judge in this case, I hope more judges, local, state, and federal will do the same. They probably will, but then again this is an election year. Also, a monopoly goes against the very basics of our society. I agree with what another respondent said "If you play in someone else's yard, you have to play by their rules". Lets keep IT competitive, it makes for better products and services that way!
