My objections are not against capitalism. I just think that it doesn't mean destroying your opposition by any means. Microsoft is a big bully. Look what it is doing to AOL Time Warner. It is slowly taking away all of the market that AOL has. It uses its programs, such as the OS and browser to make it difficult for users to select between it and the competitors. I am refering to the decision to drop JVM (which forces web applications developers to use MS' products), refusing to agree to let AOL place its icon on the desktop of new computers and etc..
