[ale] OT: submit your own anti-trust complaint against Microsoft

[synco gibraldter]

i've been thinking about this for a while -- maybe i'm dumb or maybe it's the beer but 
i don't think i quite understand what microsoft is doing that would necessitate my 
complaing or participating in a suit against them.  why should i complain?  

obviously most linux users are going to support the open source community (and 
believe me i do... remember the opera post i made that got me ragged on for a 
seemingly endless thread?) and believe that open source software is the best way to 
go.  despite those views, i really have a lot of respect for what microsoft has built.  i 
don't see how they are closing the market to others [except for the fact that they 
make many full-featured user friendly applications that few companies can compete 
with -- mostly those who specialize beyond microsoft's reach].  

can anyone explain to me [in terms of ethics please; i don't need no stinking legal 
references] how microsoft is doing anything wrong?  

peace.
