Nice find Dave, thanks. It appears as if 'cheaper' and 'free' aren't what they seem anymore. Much like StarOffice and its underwhelming success for an example. Anyhow, the last part (and legal of course! <g>) caught my fancy: "Very serious antitrust issues are raised by the way these products may be integrated and leveraged," says Richard Blumenthal, attorney general for Connecticut, one of 19 states that joined the Justice Department in its antitrust suit. Translation: "We (the AG's, esp. him) FU badly by our selective application of the ill-fated and OLD Sherman Act. Time to ATTEMPT a recoup of the costs, of prior litigation with U.S. vs Microsoft through MORE extortionary threats". What a great AG!! Looking out for the consumer by HIS definition!! That'd be himself and, himself only. Disgusting. "^5-2-U Richard Blumenthal! Thanks Richard, ^5-2-U-2 Mr. Blumenthal!" <pukes> Hopefully strike three for him will be the voters of Connecticut.
