Bill Thompson is a joke. It's ironic that he calls Microsoft stalinist-like, but his answer for every problem in the world is more and more government intrusion and regulation.
Yes, I agree that his point about government regulating the software industry in the same way as water and electricity is going too far. However, it is clear from the poor settlement of the Microsoft/Netscape antitrust case that at least the US government is currently failing to curb what is an obvious monopoly with the currently available laws. The laws are probably fine, but the system is all to susceptible to lobbying and legal tricks.
