And to think that around 1995, people thought Microsoft should have been broken up by the govt because of its "monopoly" in the OS and browser market.

Had that happened, Apple may not have had to innovate to get to where it is today and we'd all be forced to use Netscape on our Nokia flip phones.

I didn’t like Apple back in 1984, and I still despise them today :p

(although, I DID learn Pascal on them (Turbo Pascal))...

“Former Judge Robert Bork said Friday that Microsoft should be broken into three identical companies at the end of its antitrust trial.

‘My own opinion is that I think structural relief is probably going to be required,’ Bork told reporters at a luncheon meeting of ProComp, a group that approves of the government antitrust charges against Microsoft (MSFT).

“Bork represents Netscape Communications (NSCP), but he emphasized: ‘I’m not speaking for Netscape and I’m not speaking for ProComp.... I have not cleared my remarks’
