Some details on changes in upcoming versions of Windows XP. Note the section concerning complying with the anti-trust court rullings (via bump.net). Here’s a question: how come no punative damages against Microsoft? If I were to steal a CD from the local Wal-Mart, I’d get punative damages and risk jailtime. But you can steal marketshare, put companies out of business with illegal business practices, and take your sweat time complying with court orders, and all you get is reminders from the court that you really should start obeying the law sometime soon. Sad. Does anyone out there who’s been paying even a little bit of attention need any more evidence that MS is a big, evil, company in need of a good spanking by the DOJ?
