The two branches of the USA that pertain have now confirmed that Microsoft is a problem requiring an externally asserted solution, but the judicial branch has rejected the specific solution proposed by the executive branch. Three other proposed remedies are mentioned in the Washington Post today. One involves allowing developers access to Microsoft sourcecode equally. One involves allowing computer vendors to configure the Microsoft software as they see fit. The third involves unbundling software from the OS. Gates had stated, correctly, that the split of the company proposed by DOJ did not reflect any understanding of the software business. Looking at the three subsequent proposals, it appears to me that this problem is still searching for a solution. These three recent superficialities also do not appear to be the ideas of people who know how these things work. Meanwhile, Microsoft whole-heartedly engages in a depraved attack on the copyright rights of individuals, making it delightfully clear that the problem remains unsolved, and that Microsoft's general degradation of the computer world continues unabated.
