In my opinion, microsoft had it coming to them. They got in to the computer market by basically stealing early Macintosh system software and then spending money to get the courts on their side, and never had to pay back Macintosh for all of the monetary losses, and even now they were going to get broken up because of a monopoly, but the got an appeal to a higher court where the judge found nothing wrong with the whole Microsoft monopoly thing. It's pretty sad how Microsoft Windows is the standard for computers now, when Macintoshs just run better. The bug list for Windows 98 was about 2 pages long.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
