Dan, found this on ZDNet. Thought you might get a kick out of it.

This story has a link to the Information Electronics web page where all of the charges are laid out, and very well documented.

I think this one quote kind of sums up a lot of things:
One of the major problems with small companies competing against Microsoft has nothing to do with technical issues. It is next to impossible for a small company to protect its intellectual property rights when faced with an adversary that has unlimited pockets for a legal battle. Microsoft's policy of obfuscation and delay will quickly drain a small company's legal budget. This I believe is one area that the DOJ should address. When it comes to civil cases between small developers and Microsoft it is generally he who has the most money wins because the small guy just can't have the same staying power nor can they afford the bonds required to secure an injunction. It is our belief that had Microsoft fallen victim to their own policies and procedures, Microsoft as a company would not have survived the 80s.
Certainly not the 70s.
