For those of you interested in the fortunes of MicroSlop, it would appear that
politics has done it again!!

Was Judge Jackson a little too open about his feelings on MicroSoft, yup
he sure was. Does that mean that his ruling was biased, on the whole
no. After what MicroSoft has done to the software and in particular the
PC operating system market they are clearly a monopoly & should be
disassembled. One only has to look at the demise/misfortune of OS/2,
Lattice C, Apple, Netscape, Digital Research, and others to see the
light. The only thing in Judge Jackson's ruling that I see as wrong is
that he only required them to split. It should have been a 3 or 4 way
break up.
