Is this the excuse for MSFT's crap performance of late.

I think it's the main reason for MSFT's crap performance for the last 5 years. When the US government attacked MSFT, it opened the door for the rest of the world to happily follow suit. You can bet that Outer Slobovia and assorted other flea bag countries are eager to get a never ending piece of the action. I said it years ago and I'll say it again, Gates should have had the cojones to tell the DOJ and all of the rest of them to f**k off. It would have worked.

``It could pave the way for other governments to build similar cases against Microsoft,'' said Matt Rosoff, an analyst at Kirkland, Washington-based researcher Directions on Microsoft. The cost of developing multiple versions of Windows may be billions of dollars and ``gravely increase the cost of building their main product and hamper their ability to develop software.''
