Apologies , I hit send to fast... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- California state attorney's web page which I easily found thru Yahoo: http://caag.state.ca.us/ DOJ's Anti Trust Division contact web page: http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/index.html For your review: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Honor, The purpose of this letter is to ask you to block Microsoft's Win98 release until it is clear that its monopolistic practice ceases. I believe that one of the tightest strong-holds that Microsoft has on the PC industry is that Windows is bundled with virtually every PC now sold. This serves as a way to block any other competing operating system and sets the stage for application dominance by Microsoft. Enclosed is Ralph Nader's letter which was submitted to major PC manufacturers. Naturally, there was no response from the PC manufacturers. Clearly, PC manufacturers need to have reassurance that if they start distributing alternative operating systems no retribution from Microsoft will be forthcoming. To not act in this matter will clearly stiffle the creative process in the software industry. Sincereley Yours, <your signature> <enclosed Ralph Nader's letter> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
