Incredible
There is something that is quite incredible in
this reaction of AMSP clearly favoured by MS,
and this is the fact that at least one of the
following facts is true
+ the DOJ decision and the AM conference
are really having a serious PR impact
so that this people consider it a threat
to the almost established MS monopoly.
That would be great... that would mean
there is still some time to fight.
+ the DOJ decision and the AM conference
are minor annoyances, yet MS decides
to kill even marginal dissenting opinions
That would be terrible.... a new totalitarism
coming around...
In any case, what I found *shocking* is the suggestion
to make all possible moves to build pressure on the DOJ
and the congress on these issues. I come from a country
where such actions are *illegal* and are generally
resented as mafia behaviour. Would a kind soul mind
to explain to me if this is a normal behaviour in the States?
Let me be more clear: when I read

I read a request (not a suggestion) to all AMSP members to push
on Congress (this is legal in the US, I believe) *and* on the
DOJ some pre-printed opinions.
That is to say, you are lobbying Justice! This is unacceptable
for me.
