Let's see some more cola hypocrisy 1831

Erik FunkenLawyer said

It *is* true that Microsoft is an illegal monopoly. They were tried in a US court and found guilty of violating the Sherman Act.

There is such thing as an illegal monopoly, MS is not one.

Your first lie. A monopoly illegally obtained is .. illegal.

So Ralph, not only are you wrong re `illegal monopoly' but even if you were right regarding `illegal monopoly' you would still be wrong regarding Microsofts illegal monopoly. Which Heir Funkenstein has deemed to be perfectly legal.

Second lie. They used illegal means to obtain the monopoly. They were found guilty of such in a court of law.

`The Findings of Fact indicate that Microsoft has monopolized and attempted to monopolize the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems ("OS")'

Yet more lying twisting dissemination.

'The united States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit having affirmed the District Court's findings of liability against Microsoft for violation of #2 of the Sherman Act ..' - Colleen Kollar-Kotelly - United States District Judge Nov 2002

What part of the above equation do you not understand, fuddie ?

The consumer don't ever get to decide. Microsoft has secret and restrictive agreements with the OEMs to keep `alien' software off `their' desktop.

You are quite right their. The actions of the US courts in regards to Microsoft illegal practices have been futile in the extreme.

`Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or .. conspire .. to monopolize ..trade .. shall be deemed guilty of a felony ..'

It *is* illegal. The Courts said so. The fact that the US courts were leaned on by Bush to go easy on Microsoft does not erase that fact. eg. Microsoft gets to decide whether they are in compliance with the punishment and they get to donate copies of Windows as part of the fine .. ha ha. I bet bill was giggling himself silly at that one.

Getting lectures on ethics from the likes of you is like getting vegetarian tips from Hannibal Lector. The Good Dr. Mind.f*** being about his usual lying dissemination in defence of Micros~1. That is all ...
