Regarding your own rant: You're advocating how you think the law *should* be written. I was reporting on how the law is written and applied -- and under the common law system the US uses, case law *is* law. You may not agree with the law, you may think it's wholly wrong and corrupt, but that doesn't mean you, personally and individually, have the power to overturn it. A US court deemed Microsoft to be monopoly, and to have used that monopoly power to give their web browser uncompetitive advantage. See US v. MSFT, Findings of Fact, <http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f3800/msjudgex.htm>. Again: You may not agree. I really don't care, and for purposes of answering the question I was responding to, what you think doesn't matter. Feel free to continue to rant, but Kurt Buff's opinions do not decide law, no matter how much you think they should. That's all I'm going to say on the subject. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
