If they were all cooperatives, things would probably be a lot better around here. Anyway, BT is a monopoly and Microsoft wants to be one. Both should be slapped back by government at every opportunity and made to behave legally. These days, we have to look to the EU to enforce these laws, which is a great shame, while our own government cheerfully helps to launch "Office xp" and screw more money out of UK business for a US corporation.
Sorry should have been corperations nor cooperations. OF course the government is going to be in bed with MS, MS is more powerfull than any country ever will be, it controls the world! (no thats not just dreaming its true)
See the stuff about the UK Government Gateway on uk.comp.os.linux for more of this sort of thing. It's probably off-topic here now.
I saw it, the MS only rules, when will they learn.
Thanks
