Jim, RE:'10 years'. Make it 3 months (6 months at the most). MSFT is in the perfect business: 1. low-tech, extremely high-volume, no brainer. 2. other industries are forced (by competition) to give MSFT the best environments (cheap everything). While everyone has to watch the cost, the 'cost' for growing is taken care of by others. 3. MSFT is not a dinosaur yet. So this is a big bump rather than a 'long difficult road ahead'. 4. For some reason, MSFT is very scare on 'NSCP' and I think low itself down to use 'monopolistic' tactic to protect the turf. It should pay a 'fine/fee' just as a 'cost' of doing business. Without this IE integration with OS, NSCP would have more market share. Hence MSFT is not really paying a fine/fee, it's just the 'cost of making money'. Give MSFT the credit of trying this: "let's see what if anything DOJ can do about it". It's all about MONEY, no big deal.
