I think the clowns at DOJ are trying to repair the political damage. THe backlash may hurt Democrats in November unless something is done.



Let's hope there is some backlash. The Middle Eastern countries can charge whatever they want for oil after we protect them from each other, racking up billions in military expenses, yet MS is being unfair by including its browser in the OS?!?!

DOJ logic or should I say illogic?

Ibexx-

Many here seem to talk about the DOJ/MSFT case as if it is a politically-motivated case. What's the rationale behind this (I'm just asking because I have no idea)? Is it that the IBM case or AT&T case were also initiated under a Democratic President? Or is this chatter/discussion just a fun way to place some blame?
