On the Darkside

On the Darkside from reader Dana Baggett, "Heard on MarketPlace on NPR tonight that among testimony the Justice Dep't has received, Compaq says that Microsoft threatened denial of access to Windows 95 if they failed to feature MS's Explorer browser. Also, I heard comments last night on NPR from Ralph Nader who apparently is no computer buff, but I thought accurately portrayed Microsoft not an innovator and inventor, but a copier and intimidating marketer. Nader feels the real concern against the public interest is Microsoft's move to acquire cable stations and other media outlets."
