Okay Cyril..the cats out of the bag.

>>Now, a large number of businesses that rely on performing services for clients that use Microsoft products will be impacted if the States prevail. <<

This is not a good reason to support a monopoly. It is akin to saying "everybody should be driving Yugos, because we make so much money repairing the cute little things."

The amount of money businesses spend to keep MS products running smoothly is ridiculous, I see it as a DRAIN on the economy and not a plus.

If you network 5 PC's you need a network engineer...what a total waste of resources. That money could be spent on actually producing something of value.
