That EU lawsuit against Microsoft started in the last century when IE
was pushed onto Windows users and Netscape was dying because of it
didn't have that kind of access. Ten years later IE market share is down
because IE is an awful program and there are finally alternatives that
aren't hidden from users by MS. If it weren't for the monopoly and
misbehavior by MS, IE would have died long ago.
I'm glad that science is finally back into the forefront. After living
in a solar house for 30 years, it will be nice that the technology
finally has more credibility and wider use. The vast amount of
propaganda against renewable energy has been astounding, even as
efficiencies have increased and prices are way down into the affordable
range. Science by real scientists is refreshing, especially with a Nobel
laureate physicist in charge, instead of "science" propaganda by
industry shills and lobbyists, as has been the norm for many years.
You should read up on those lawsuits in the EU...really ridiculous stuff.
Kinda hard to claim IE has an monopoly when their marketshare is on a
spiral...DOWN.
