I like to accept what people say at face value until evidence suggests otherwise.
People go on about Bill Gates and antitrust, but do they really think Steve Jobs or Scott McNealy or even Page & Brin would behave differently?
Bill Gates' biggest fear was not losing the OS monopoly. His fear was of Microsoft turning into IBM -- always having to run everything you do by lawyers.
MS-DOS wouldn't even exist if IBM hadn't had the justice department watching their every move.
