If you don't trust big businesses, why would you trust an even bigger business (the government) to keep them in line? As is, Microsoft has dodged serious anti-trust lawsuits and has yet to be split into multiple entitites. When the government is corrupt, how can you expect it to act in a manner that is beneficial to the people? It is up to the people themselves to put big businesses in line -- by means of boycotts, picketing, etc.
