Microsoft wants servers to drive Office sales

Antitrust: Isn't tying apps to a specific server OpSys the WHOLE REASON that the EU found M$ guilty of antitrust? Just like the child that you tell "don't do that" and then he goes and does it in front of you - I just can't comprehend what to do! Slap M$ wrists HARDER?

Anyway, just as .NET is single-platform JAVA, this Office thingy is a single-platform "web services" offering. Gee, take something that works well for someone else, bind it closely to your OS, and then force people to upgrade to it. That's called leveraging your monopoly to monopolize other markets - and its ILLEGAL and called anittrust.; Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 11/05/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
