Good point, Bill. But at what point will they realize it? By the time a 
significant number of people learned the full story about Microsoft, 
the horse was long out of the barn and the barn had burned nearly to the 
ground. A whole lot of people had been hurt. Must recognition come
only after the phenomenon has run away? Is there a way to sound the
alarm sooner? Or is it a lost cause?
