Did m$ antritrust case get covered up under 911? I'm not hearing much about it anymore.
Well... what do you think should happen with the m$ antritrust case?

I think m$ should open source it's proprietary technology. I'm talking about it's asp (iis), sql, and other proprietary technologies. Things that keep users from migrating to linux (yes yes, there's also the games part). m$ proprietary technology is what gives it its monopoly. Also... open source some old windows. COME ON!!! no one uses win 95 or win 3.x anymore! Just release the source! still... the 9x architecture is dead. YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT SECURITY IF YOU RELEASE IT!!!!

thinking again... i thought it was 2 billion to charities, and 20 (somewhere around there) million to his kids.
20 million to his kids!! damn... he was madd high when he did that, if i were his kids (well... i'd b loathing in money), i'd be screaming and hollering to increase it to 20 billion!!

40 Billion is not a lot compared to Home Depot, MS has way way way more money then 40 Billion, Gates himself has 90 Billion in account. Speaking of Home Depot they make 140 Billion a year. So you know MS being one of the worlds largests companies make way more then 140 Billion a year. Something to think about...

2. The largest because their worth half a trillion dollars (and starting to grow a lil)!
3. Home Depot, is that 140 billion a year in revenue?
4. How much is Home Depot worth?
