Thanks Don for making it a bit clearer for me. Like math, when it comes to
"operating systems" I tend to fuzz out, so trying to keep up with the legal,
factual and technical issues of his particular case have been too taxing for
me. When I first became a paralegal law I worked on mostly antitrust cases
for the first 5 years. Since then I've worked in almost every other
conceivable area of law, but that one remains my favorite. It is very
esoteric and usually involves lots of interesting and complex facts and
questions.
I'd say that Gates does need to be watched, although in many ways he has a
lot of current law behind him, and I'm afraid that will help him keep the
case strung out in court for a long time. The way our system is now, it may
only leave the option of another strong competitor coming forth to knock him
off his game a bit. It eventually happened with IBM. The best situation
now would be for Gates to willingly to modify his plans for world
domination!
Kakki, off for a few days and apologizing for using so much bandwidth
recently! Good weekend to everyone.
