> Hi Mandar,

     Some good points you put forth. But have u worked on LINUX. It is a success
story of Individuals with a passion. No Business Men involved here.

    Competition should be fair and square. Sun is as big as Microsoft. But they
gave JAVA free.
Ask MICROSOFT to give their code free and they get nightmares. Why ????
 Why does such an excellent company have to come up with systems that crash at
the drop of a hat.
 They have more updates than anybody ever had for any of their systems.

 Worst still u cant use Word 7 to open Word 97 Some macros wont work..

 Plus if u go to buy a PC they sell it with Windows 98 but if I want a different
one on the sytem I have to pay for that..
 That is unjust and unfair for the customer...

Mr Mandar,  MRTP is there in INDIA also. All the judge has said is break ur
company into two..
 and play fair.

 It is a democracy.. so if people feel there is a monopoly  people should have a
power to stop it.

 If this is not stopped , what stops big airline firms merging and then they can
charge any price bcos they are a monopoly..

Phone company like MA-BEll was split bcos it became too big and a monopoly.

THe reality maybe .... more political too.. but u did not mention that..
ELECTION FUNDS can cause lot of thigns to happen....
