You're absolutely entitled to that opinion. I say we're seeing evidence already. What I say is not a "script," however. It's true that I've repeated some of the information about these issues in several forums, but that's because I think the issue is important. I was also one of the first people to detail why I thought Microsoft's anti-competitive practices were harmful and should be curtailed, and met with a similar response. (This was before the days when Internet access was common; it happened on CompuServe.) Again, you're entitled to disagree. But please do consider what I say not as a matter of "religion" but as a cool, reasoned view from someone who makes his predictions very carefully and after a LOT of consideration. --Brett "Rules?
