Court action in the U.s or in Europe? which ever, it done nothing, in
the u.s, nothing have been done to stop Microsoft, because once Bush got
in, all the things that was going to be done was not.
What happened about splitting Microsoft up?, what happened about taking
Internet Explorer out of Windows? None of that have happened. I wonder
how many back pockets Bush have got.

The same in Europe, nothing was done, oh big deal, Gates must make a
version of windows without his media player, but he can still sell the
old windows, so it means nothing.

Gates speak, everyone jumps, he have got control lots of it.
If he decided tomorrow, to pull the license for Windows out, then the
world would come to a full stop. so he has a monopoly, just like British
Telecoms do here, even if the government says they have not.
It is about time big companies that have that sort of power was split.
