Regardless of the quality of Microsoft's products, this prosecution is wrong. Contrary to Terry Warren's statement, the students who protested in defense of Microsoft do have a clue. A plug and play system that requires no training to use. Warren wrote that he believes in private property and the free market but claimed they do not apply to the Microsoft case. He goes on to say that Microsoft's success comes from its marketing.
Companies rely on marketing to sell products.
Americans' wallets will. I do not subscribe to the idea that Americans are too stupid to make their own decisions and thus need the government to take care of them. I participated in that protest because Bill Gates has done more to improve my life than Janet Reno ever will. As a Libertarian, I recognize that freedom is at stake. This is ludicrous, since it is akin to objecting that my old mechanical carburetor doesn't work on my new '98 model automobile.
