Monopoly holder or not, convicted or not, appeals denied or not, waiting for sentencing or not. Behavioural remedies will likely be useless. Fine MS, and they will pay, shrug, and consider it a cost of doing business (much like they considered the loss of market to MSN sites to be a cost for maintaining thier monopoly position) and continue thier proven illegal and abusive monopolistic behaviour. It's not something independent, or new. It would just support the prosecution. Something drastic will have to be done to Gates & Co. I favor jail time for the corporate officers. grin Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...

Monopoly leveraging. Big, Bold, Unchanged from what they got convicted for. Addison
