PR: I like the spin at the end of the article "If [the Tandy deal] says anything, Microsoft is going to continue their strategy until someone tells them they can't," said Dana Hayter, an intellectual property and antitrust attorney with Fenwick & West in San Francisco. "There is nothing wrong with that from an antitrust perspective, unless they set it up so that people have to use [Windows] CE or Windows 98. Then there is more of a link of what they're doing on broadband and their monopoly on the PC systems' end." JFD
