Re: Harm to the consumer? Are taxpayers consumers? And are consumers taxpayers? Perhaps both MSFT and the Government can each put up a thermometer on their web sites. This site could be verified by each side, on the actual costs for this entire legal situation.... The Government site could include all the DOJ, White House, Congressional costs for personnel, as well as the number and hourly total charges for each attorney and each staff member cost as well. (With of course, all government email, correspondence, phone logs, etc produced....) For Miscrosoft, the lost time for each executive, every attorney and related staff...etc. Their costs could be pretty easily verified , as the Government all ready has their information. We the consumers and We the taxpayers, just don't know how much it has cost US for the Government to press this case. It will be interesting to see if there is any reaction from the millions of MSFT shareholders when they ask for a statement of their current retirement funds that include Microsoft stock. "Prevent harm to the consumer?????".....Who is kidding who???? KLP
