Wanna, Re: <what makes you think that MSFT wouldn't be willing to outspend them[AOL-TW], or sleep with every government official in this country, to get what they want?>
LOL. This is a Republican government.
Money or no, the Bush administration will leave it to the courts.
And, IMO, Steve Case will have Bill Gates' bucks in several years(or at least, a lot of them), 'cause he's got more class and gumption.
Beyond that, this represents the third strike. MSFT has twice been found guilty of abuse of monopoly power.
There's going to be big money change hands here.
More, perhaps, than if MSFT gets to charge double for multi-threading.
And I hope they can't pull that off, either!
