...enormous handicap, since I have no extended time either to do research or write. In order to compensate, I have to spend more of the days I am not teaching on my own work, which severely limits activities with my family," he writes...
...goal of the breakup is not only to create multiple competing operating systems, but to reduce the possibility that future software companies will be able to build a similar monopoly. The suit was designed to prevent Microsoft domination of "middleware" like Java and Netscape. Middleware allows software developers to write programs that function equally across different operating systems, making an operating system itself less relevant. After the breakup, the applications portion of Microsoft would have incentives for compatibility with as many platforms as possible. Linux (a Unix-like operating system) would become a much more viable operating system...
...staff is too harsh in recommending that Microsoft be broken up. The computer industry is very different from a traditional industry. Technology monopolies are extremely tenuous.

Otherwise small applications developers will suffer by being forced to take on the additional costs of writing for multiple platforms...

I had pretty good teen years," he says, while sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, eating what he keeps referring to as "adult food" ("These greens are a little bitter"). "I was short and all, but I wasn't picked on." Now, Sacco, still boyish looking, says he has abandoned most of his belongings and left Portland, Ore., for New York City. He's sleeping...
