Well the MSFT arguments are pretty silly in trying to frame this conflict in terms of it being anti-innovative. I don't think any of the public speakers believe that this is anything but the most positive spin to put on it. I think it has been all along anti-competitive in the coercive nature of it's contracts. Otoh, forcing NSCP to be delivered is a rather crude attempt to level things out and I don't see that one as being sustained either. I think that the bigger risk to MSFT is that they will be declared to be a monopoly. Too bad all MSFT has been able to get is Haley Barbour as a spokesperson/consultant for TV talk PR. NSCP did much better by getting Bob Dole. That round at least goes to NSCP.
