Apples & Oranges (or IBMs), Bif....
AOL was NOT associated with the ground floor scenario that took place when MS was created. Gates only had to convince one single corporate scenario to get in bed with him. It was not anywhere near as complicated as this internationally & diplomatically driven event.
Furthermore, when all of this went down, congress had just passed legislation driving trillions of dollars into a trade megapolis that would advocate the development and delivery of cleaner air systems, the elimination of leaded fuels and the development of a sloth of government driven financial opportunities bureaucrasizing and departmentalizing the authoritative elements that make you and I pay more each year in vehicle registrations and taxes that fund the inspections of cars that must meet the standards that were already envoked.
If you've ever wondered where campaign dollars come from for your lawmakers and taxspenders, take a look in their back yard, and over your shoulder in the direction of those who are going to make money from all of the government contracts over decades of time. Then, ask yourself if it all were to be stopped immediately by one simple system, how good or bad would that be for the American economy?.... When all these projected jobs and opportunities were being created by a seemingly impossible task of creating clean air vehicles that use little or no fossil fuels.
