The problem with the DOJ involves how they go about doing this. For instance, in a previous post it indicated that they require payment for licensing fees for all computers sold, regardless of whether they use MSFT or not. Microsoft stopped doing this in '95 (consent decree). Didn't you notice the huge increase in OS innovation, competition, etc. that followed? Hahaha. It's just another example of petty, meaningless meddling. Trust me, when Microsoft makes its "big concessions", nothing will change. It's all about ego, the need for the gov't to show who's boss.
