RE:"I do draw the line here. If you look back through my posts, you could hardly find a more anti-MSFT person. But the DOJ and lawyers running all over the tech industry scare me more than MSFT." Joe, you are one of the few (many) here that get's it. All you have to be is someone that's been in business and dealt with Lawyers and the government to see the real danger here. Down here in Fla...the Lawyers that prosecuted the tobacco companies wanted a nice $billion cut out of the deal. The tobacco money was supposed to go to reimberse the state for tobacco related care costs...well a lot of it went to a lot of other things. All the States want is a big money grab. So do the Lawyers. Those with the "get Billy" attitudes are thinking very small here. Wall Street knows the score. Why do you think the NASDAQ sold off 40%. Not just Microsoft. I know YOU know...but a lot of others are sheep that should have their eyes opened...
