The only intervention from the governement in the terms of business is none...  everything that has to do with government and business the government fails at... (this is from a US government view).

What do you mean by the community tho? Are we talking about the common folk or the rich or the poor or the businesses themselves?

It doesn't really seem to me that the US government has been abstaining from direct intervention in the market due to ideological stances, lately (GM, anyone?). And even the US have such thing as anti-trust legislation.

As for the community i talked of, I said that it's the one the governments are meant to represent and defend the interests of. In the case of the US I assume it's made of all the citizens as equal.

sort  of but the "community" is way to big and made of way to many views for the government to represent them all.

yeah US messed up big with GM... i mean i now own part of GM so i guess i should get a free car... or with AIG i should get free insurance since i already pay them...

So if one company has a majority then it is no longer a free market?  Is that the definition of free market?  The best part about companys being greedy and abusive is that even when a company has a strangle hold there are other companys greedy as hell trying to take it away.

How do you know people will not buy a new OS that is better then all the rest?   That to me sounds like "well we can not beat them so we might as well break them down till we can beat them."

 I guess i believe more in the power of the people then in the power of the government.. if people really (other then us tech nerds) had a problem with what microsoft did and is doing then they would have done something about it.  You can't punish people for finding success and reward people for failing... (/beginsarcasm unless your the US government /endsarcasm)
