Ah well it's criticism based on many writings and rulings (I

Courts and Judges are positively clueless about the software
world and to call them 'experts' is absurd.
And apparently David Maynard is clueless about how justice
works. Judges are good at judging and rely on expert witnesses.
I suppose you missed the fact that there are always 'expert
witnesses' on both sides of any case with directly opposing
'opinions' and in something as technically complex as an O.S.
there is no way for someone clueless about software to even grasp
the arguments, much less 'judge' which one is the better,
assuming there is such a thing as 'better' when it comes to
'opinions' on what an O.S. should, or should not, have as it's
components and how it 'should' be structured.
I'm not surprised you have so much trouble with judgment,
considering how you struggle with using ordinary words in
ordinary contexts. That paragraph is a good illustration. You
even question the meaning of words in your own usage.
Judges don't have that problem.
No, what they have a problem with is being clueless about
software.
You would have to be silly (as usual) to imagine that judges have to
know everything about every subject they judge. But in fact some of
them are very insightful about the software business.
An operating system should not have applications as it's
components if you want to promote competition among software
developers.
What I want to 'promote' is a good product,
The way we do that in a civilized market based economy is to foster
competition.
not some anti-business crusade.
You sound like a Libertarian zealot.
And if
you pretend to not know the difference between an operating
system and an application, you are just a liar. There is a gray
area but it's not that difficult to generally separate an
operating system from applications.
Which demonstrates you're almost as clueless as the judges are.
Maybe more so (in your head). Having been a big fan of the big
antitrust trial, for years I paid close attention and was impressed
by the judges' ability to understand and weigh the facts. They don't
have to know how to write programs, their main concern is the
software publishing business.
I smell a libertarian who believes everything the government
does is wrong (unless it agrees with his opinion).
Wrong, as usual.
Silly, as usual.
Yes, you were, but I decided to keep it simple with just plain
wrong.
So you're not willing to admit that you are a Libertarian who thinks
that everything government does is wrong (unless it agrees with your
opinion).
But in fact if it weren't for our government every day deciding
in Microsoft's favor and using our police with guns to
physically inforce Microsoft's will, Microsoft would fall apart
like a playing card house. Put that in your Microsoft defending
libertarian fantasy land.
Nice piece of schizoid logic you got there
You are a Microsoft defender troll wearing very big blinders.
No, I'm a defender of facts and rational thought.
When are you going to defend the fact that Microsoft Windows is a
monopoly?
with the government
simultaneously condemning Microsoft for being, as you call it, a
'monopoly', yet 'protecting' them.
Our justice system is getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year
from Microsoft.
Then it's nice to see they're making a profit for a change.
