Justice Department in league with SPACE ALIENS!!!

=====
The Love Bug virus invaded computers across the world last week in an
e-mail carrying the subject line, "ILOVEYOU.'' The virus, which only
affected computers running on Microsoft's Windows operating system,
attacked the company's Outlook e-mail program and Internet Explorer
browser.
The front line of defense against such sophisticated viruses is a
continually evolving computer operating system that attracts the efforts
of eager software developers, Gates said.
That relationship would suffer because the Justice Department's proposal
for breaking up the company would result in fewer innovations of Windows
programs, he said.
=====
I say:
What's next, Microsoft claiming that if the courts split the company in
half, there will be less security innovation in OSes, making use easier
prey for an alien attack? Has Gates finally lost his marbles?
