Microsoft Ascendent Salon's Andrew Leanard hits the nail on the head and catalogues Microsoft's most recent abuses of its desktop monopoly. He ends on a hopeful note -- that somehow, Microsoft will become so extortionate and evil that people will start using open source (the only model that can resist the Windows monopoly) and do what the government has neither the guts or brains to do itself. Of course, this may not happen in any of our natural lives. Junior doesn't use computers, so he doesn't care.
