-=> Quoting David Durgee to David Hartung <=-
 DD> In a message dated 12-27-97, David Hartung said to Justin Baustert:
 
 DH> Sure they do, if the consumer doesn't like Win95, there is OS2 or
 DH> Macintosh. By definition, these folks are competitors of Microsoft.
 DD> Correct to a degree.  Where the problem comes in is the restraint of
 DD> trade practiced by Microsoft in their requirements for developers to
 DD> receive information necessary to write to their environment.  They
 DD> require the developer to agree not to release the same or equivalent
 DD> package under other environments(OS/2, Macintosh, Unix) for a period of
 DD> years after the release of the windows version.  As consumers tend to
 DD> buy applications as opposed to operating systems they are stuck.
 The bottom line is still that there is not a monopoly in operating
 systems, or in applications. In my opinion, the Justice Department is
 in the wrong.
