I dislike M$ software and their business tactics just as much as the next geek, but the thought of the U.S. Gov't regulating the most used OS in the world scares the dog poop out of me. What's extremely ironic is that it's a Republican Congressman (usually minimal gov't interference in business) and geeks that WANT the gov't to regulate and trample this business. I have a feeling the opinions of regulation would be far different if it was any other OS the Gov't decided to regulate because of what they considered "unfair business practices". Call me paranoid.......
