The Microsoft antitrust trial,
DOJ vs. the freedom to imitate & control...
Microsofts been found guilty of illegally using its monopoly to force
its software on consumers, harming innovative competitors. Microsoft characterizes
the case as the DOJ vs. the freedom to innovate. Lets see, first they
imitated the innovative Mac OS. Then they imitated the innovative Netscape Navigator.
Finally they used Windows to force Explorer on consumers. It looks more like
the DOJ vs. the freedom to imitate & control. Its actually in Microsofts
best interest to lose this case. After all, if they kill off all their innovative
competitors, what will they have left to imitate? -NineOh
