Craig- Next year Microsoft will be issuing debt.
Just their liability to IBM could take half their cash on hand.

Figure triple damages for every Windows copy sold
to them just for starters. There is a whole section
on the damage done to IBM's business, Section 115 to 132. Here's a small
part:

130. The discriminatory treatment that the IBM PC Company received
from Microsoft on account of the "software directions" of its parent
company also manifested itself in the royalty price that IBM paid for
Windows. In the latter half of the 1990s, IBM (along with Gateway) paid
significantly more for Windows than other major OEMs (like Compaq,
Dell, and Hewlett-Packard) that were more compliant with Microsoft's
wishes.
