t2k: You are 100% correct on this topic! More upset than the companies are these 19 money grubbing states who think that they will somehow benefit from all this. I imagine that they are the sticking point in the out of court negotiations.

This IBM witness just shows that MSFT didn't want IBM not paying their royalties and if they were going to compete with their own OS not to be treated as a most favored trading partner. This is probably where this administration gets confused because presently the US tries to suck up to those that are giving them the biggest screwing.
