Sorry, but I disagree.  I think Apple's suit is bad, and I have no desire to
hurt Apple.  All I want is free enterprise.  Microsoft is not a threat to
Apple; it is healthy competition.  MS-Windows should have got Apple off
their butts to create better system software for its computers.  That would
have made the users happy.  Instead, they decided to go to the courtroom
and make the lawyers happy.  If anyone is trying to hurt anyone, it's Apple
trying to hurt Microsoft and the users of GUI's everywhere.
