Oh, cut it out Alan. You're always putting some new angle on MSFT/INTU. There's always the straightforward "Microsoft is the dominant application vendor, and it would be anticompetitive if they bought the dominant company in an area they didn't control", but that would be spin-insensitive wouldn't it?

Money came up because of the line that Microsoft would "preserve competition" by fobbing it off on somebody cheap. It was a defense line by Microsoft. On the merger considerations itself, I doubt Money made that big a deal. Or maybe it did, who knows. To repeat my standard line, you guys want antitrust repealed, or statutory immunity for Microsoft, the process is straightforward. Otherwise, that particular action looks well within the normal range of law enforcement in that area, like it or not.

Cheers, Dan.
