Larry: Actually as I remember it MSFT bailed AAPL out with $150,000,000 and Office support after Jobs went to MSFT and asked them to help save AAPL which was at the time on its knees because the effects of returning to their monopoly of both hardware and O/S had not yet kicked in. JFD

Larry, as has been said before, there are two sides to the story. The judge chose not to believe Microsoft's version, and he stated his reasons, right or wrong. He is the trial judge, after all, and he is entitled to draw those conclusions, unjustified as they may seem to some observers. The example of Apple that I gave in my earlier response was significant, I believe, because it showed a pattern of behavior that seemed convincing to the judge as one more example of a very questionable, if not outlawed kind of behavior.
