you're right, of course, though i think that the most important thing
to remember is that clinton's justice department had msft over the
barrel in 1994, when it could have prevented much of what has taken
place, but then inexplicably backed off.
i have a little piece today on linuxtoday in which i offer the
appraisal that this route is far better for linux than the breakup
would have been -- a breakup would have maintained an operating
system monopoly while (perhaps) making life a little easier for
non-microsoft developers of applications software, that's all.
i wrote my piece last night and was amused this morning to see that
in its analysis piece the washington post came to much the same
conclusion, though of course their piece was not written with linux
in mind.
