MSFT retains over 90% of the desktop ... regardless of the outcome of the trial. Company hard at work outside the courtroom seattletimes.com Meanwhile, two Microsoft-backed business groups have issued reports in recent weeks to bolster its positions. Citizens Against Government Waste last week criticized the amount of money it estimated the government had spent prosecuting the case. Another group, the Association for Competitive Technology , issued a survey it commissioned showing that most information-technology managers do not favor the breakup of the company if Microsoft is found guilty of antitrust violations. The group, funded by Microsoft, was created to oppose the suit. Seriously ... why does MSFT create groups like this? It makes them look ridiculous. Do Bill and Steve REALLY think we're that stupid? On second thought ... we buy Windows don't we? The big problem is they can't design a stable operating system. If they (accidentally and by some miracle) make SnakeOil 2000 stable ... they will REALLY make some money.
