Subject: CANUCKS: Microsoft Attacks Ridiculous to Canadians
X-URL: Canucks is at http://www.canadiansintheus.com/

Microsoft is so swamped with complaints from its
competitors that even law-loving Canadians think US
legislators have let antitrust law get way out of
hand.

Recently, Microsoft bent to pressure from Kodak and
agreed to "change the way its operating system reacts
when someone connects a digital camera to their
computer."  Now (surprise, surprise) Sun Microsystems
is complaining that "Microsoft won't include support
for the company's Java software in Windows XP." What's
with that?  Is Microsoft supposed to take its
competitor's interests into account everytime it makes
a move.  What a foreign concept for the competitive
American spirit...

Here's the best line from the article linked to below:

"Is the U.S. government supposed to be in the business
of designing computer operating systems? Should every
complaint from a company like Kodak — which said
Microsoft was giving its own image software precedence
over the film company's — result in a press conference
by some little-known senator or congressman
speculating about the anti-trust implications? That
appears to be the kind of never-never land we're in at
the moment."
