Story: Microsoft's antitrust concessions are 'pointless'

To Rod S,
You are criticising the only group of people who are standing up to fight for open standards and competition. It should be a matter of serious concern to everyone that such a monoply that Microsoft continually seeks is neither in our interests and nor should it be permitted.
The long term consequences of an absolute monopolist in the IT aspects of our society are too grim to contemplate.
It is clear to reasonable people that such important technologies should be subject to open and common standards so that genuine competition, choice and inovation can flourish.
Seems to me that you support the philosophy of the bully. There is no other industry where such abuse occurs.
