Rod, You are the one that is off-base, IMO. Let's review your response to rudedog:

<< Let's look at another one of your asinine claims: the Court wanted to "teach Bill a lesson" from the outset; they could not have settled even if they wanted to. Dog, what do you think this is? >>

What I think of this is that you are wrong. MSFT could have settled, but it would have been VERY painful and damaging to their future business. As rudedog says, the court did want to teach MSFT a lesson and MSFT decided not to settle for the court's remedies (the court and the DOJ are one in the same, IMO). Exactly as rudedog states, MSFT chose to take their chances with a higher court because the court wanted to teach them a lesson.

<< A forum where you post cracker-jack nonsense concocted in your own head and then posture it as fact? I'm afraid your kidding yourself if you think you are seeing this from an objective viewpoint. Tell me, have you simply been ignoring the corrective guidance that must surely have been coming your way in your home and work environments? I can't see how else you could think you could get away with these ridiculous stipulations and expect them to stick, other than just ignoring everything and anything except your own twisted opinions. >>

This is amazing. A full paragraph dedicated to insulting rudedog. You've managed to lose my respect. No point / counter point here, only that your post was garbage. rudedog was correct and you were incorrect; period.

Dave
