Can you accept the fact that they might be guilty?

Guilt, in the case of the Alice in Wonderland anti-trust "laws", is totally arbitrary and undefinable. The proper venue for the MSFT trial should be the Mad Hatters Tea Party.

How much is spent by the government flogging China over software copyright laws?

Copyright law is a legitimate protection of property rights. In the case of China, software theft adversely affects our balance of trade deficit, which is bad enough already.

Or is it different when Microsoft is the complainant to a Federal agency?

I may have missed it, but I don't believe that Bill G has ever gone whining to Uncle Sugar to step on a competitor, as McNeally, Ellison, et all, are prone to do.

No conspiracies or fascists to blame for Microsoft's pushing their luck too far.

"Pushing their luck too far"? LOL!! You mean "succeeding too well". I hear the jealousy and envy bells ringing.
