Steven, why are you bringing up strawmen?

Some laws are good.
Some laws suck.

When presented with several examples of M$ having monopoly power and
abusing it, you avoid addressing the matter altogether.  You sound like
a religious hippie.  "Government is baaaad, n'kay?"  Good grief Steven,
are you one of those people who never thought for a moment that M$ used
its near monopoly power to unfairly kill competition?
