Pro-Competition
Issue with your comment: your opinion that Office was easier to use is a valid opinion, for you, but that doesn't give it any weight in the legal argument. There are still ppl today who use old versions of Word Perfect that work fine today - most complaints I have personally encountered have to do with its compatibility with Office, or lack thereof. Which has nothing to do with it's actual usability as a document processor.
The argument that Microsoft used its de facto monopolistic power to crush the competition, as they have over, and over, is a valid argument, and I personally think is accurate.
If you think that dismissing this argument would be a pro-competition action, you are sadly mistaken, it would be *against* competition. The Republicans, despite what they say, have proven themselves to be anti-comptetition rather than pro- most of the time. But if you aren't clued into their 'pay attention to what I say, not what I do' stance by now, you aren't paying attention. Which, IMHO, is one of the saddest state of affairs today with Americans.

I am annoyed that they appear to only be selling their product through a vendor such as Wal-Mart, that has a reputation for policies that tend to be damaging to the local economies they affect. I generally refuse to shop at Wal-Mart, as do many people I know. So even though I am interested in these products, apparently I won't be buying one any time soon, unless they are offered through other channels.
