<While I would like to see the DOJ enforce the Decree and the antitrust laws, and with all due respect to their fine lawyers, the risk to reward ratio in bringing this case at this time does not add up for me. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm having a hard time understanding why DOJ is doing this. Maybe someone can explain it to me.> Political pressure! The lobby against MSFT is growing and contains cos. with clout and cash. IBM, SUNW (note that these two companies are bigger then MSFT), NSCP, NOVL, and a lot more smaller ones that I probably never even heard of. If Janet Reno and crew get embarrassed, it is no skin off of the lobbyist nose. I must agree with your assertions. I actually don't see a victory for the Justice Dept. considering what I read of both sides pending arguments (I admit to not reading all of it). Just my arrogant opinion.
