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. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ron Rogers INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
