the tallest poppy – success breeds punishment…
There is a great article
about the Microsoft DOJ decision
by Dr.
Jerry Pournelle available, and I have a quote from it below.
| "Judge Jackson uses a computer but doesn’t know whether it’s a PC or a Mac. With that background he has undertaken to apply 19th-century law to 21st-century economic issues. The result was to cut off the head of the tallest poppy, and if his remedies are to be applied fairly, many more poppies will be cut." |
This is well worth a read, and says a lot of what I feel about
this issue.
