What is it with you, RTev? You never let me get a moments peace on this Board!!!!

Here's the part of Zawinski's quote that I think the MSFT lawyers will be interested in:

"AOL is about centralization and control of content," Zawinski wrote in a page dated March 31. "Everything that is good about the Internet, everything that differentiates it from television, is about empowerment of the individual. I don't want to be a part of an effort (AOL/NSCP) that could result in the elimination of all that."

So I just see it differently. I think MSFT will go after anything that may help them at this point in the trial. They need all the help they can get, and they certainly view this merger as an opportunity to alter the focus of the trial.

For God sakes, the Country just got schooled from the master himself (Clinton) on how to turn the focus of accusations away from oneself and back onto the accusers. I see MSFT following this methodology to a degree as the trial moves forward.
