Compare the price of the OS on a PC sold fifteen years ago as a proportion to the price now. Also, the software monoculture prevalent now has greatly aided the damages caused by trojans and worms... and it was an easily forseeable consequence of having the same software on all PCs. Since that monoculture was implemented and maintained via illegal means according to the 9th district CoA... it would appear that the monopole has caused easily verifiable harm to me. --\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \r\n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \r\n Laval Qu\ufffdbec Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, Microsoft stock plummeted $80 billion on one day \ufffd April 3, 2000, when Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued his ill-fated conclusions of law, which were mostly overturned on appeal. They were? I thought it was only the remedy that was overturned. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
