I like what Palm is doing, but I needed a change of pace and working remotely for them was getting to be frustrating. I'm still remote, but Mozilla is much better setup to handle that thing.

It's about companies that can leverage their market share to manipulate the competition. It isn't about IE market share.

I simply don't see it in this case, IE's marketshare has been consistently dropping for years now and is perhaps, depending on which survey you believe as low as 50% to maybe 70% marketshare. At this point is it even a monopoly? There's a lot of vibrant browser competition out there... I simply think that legislation should be a last resort and I don't see how we're there right now.

It is by far the number one opponent to freedom and competition with respect to capitalist ideals. If a corporation doesn't want such a challenge, they should ensure they never approach a monopoly. Good luck with that! Yes, it's unfortunate that we must always be vigilant, but that is one of the costs of freedom. Monopoly power must always, always, always be questioned and challenged.

Did you hear about the Psystar being allowed to continue their countersuit against Apple for using their Mac OSX? It's ridiculous. I guess this makes you realize that life isn't fair.
