The US government has already won an anti-trust suit against
Microsoft for this. The European Union is currently proceeding
with an anti-trust action against microsoft.

The findings of fact, that Microsoft is a monopoly and abused
its monopoly position have been upheld.

So yes, the proper authorities have been informed and are
working the problem.


They had the problem about solved when the administrative law judge
advised the DOJ (under Clinton) that MicroSofts monopoly was far worse
than the retributions sought by the DOJ. The DOJ then appealed their
victory, saying the judge had no right to do this. It is the only time
I have heard someone appealing a law suit after getting MORE than they
asked for, appealing the decision and asking for less than they were
awarded. Something this lame had to cost Gates a bundle. He of course
has a bundle that he has stolen via his illegal monopoly.
