Yet another victory for the ever growing monopoly. Each time people will say it doesn't matter it's just "company x" they were no good any how, but slowly each and every company will be assimilated into the windows monopoly. Microsoft has receive a new wind and they are wasting no time in this new error that will favor monopolies ( cable companies got a good ruling recently as well) over the smaller startups. However, anyone that points this out will be accused of FUD, they will say the government was picking on Microsoft and the other monopolies during the previous administration. During the previous administration, the DOJ collected over 1.4 billion dollars in fines from various monopolies and cartels for price-fixing violations. These price fixing violations were in every area from food additives to products for producing sporting goods, although the only story in the news was about Microsoft. The right wing, hate radio proclaimed this was an abuse of power, others believe it helped keep prices lower for consumers and the economy growing. joe joe
