I don't think they should be allowed to control the way netbooks are designed and manufactured. Grasping for an analogy, I think of a produce wholesaler telling a grocer: “Well, I'll let you carry our line of small potatoes, but you damn well better not let your customers buy anything bigger than a one quart pot to cook them in.”

I've never thought a totally free market would cure the the world's woes, but I'd rather leave market regulation to governments, not big corporations.

Unlike a lot of people, I've always been grateful for the computing power MS has given us. I've used a copy of every Windows version since 3.1 (except 2000 and NT), but they are driving me more and more toward Linux.
