Microsoft for President

Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer has proven to be as two faced as any politician. Back when the Justice Department was persuing an anti-trust suit against Microsoft, one of the defenses Microsoft used to maintain that they did not have a monopoly was the existance of Linux. Now they claim that some of Linux's functionality is based on Windows. Buy Windows and pay Microsoft or use Linux and pay Microsoft. Smells like a monopoly to me. Unfortunately for Mr Ballmer and Microsoft, the next asshole in the Whitehouse probably won't be Steve Ballmer. It will probably be a Democrat and we all know what the justice department under a Democratic president likes to do to monopolies.
