Ralf: Thanks for posting that story, I had missed it. It's a great story, possibly the best ever about this trial.

It just confirms a lot of things about M$. As I have said earlier, Bill G, Steve and their lackeys were, and remain, ready to bring down their company, their shareholders, and the whole market rather than admit to one iota of wrongdoing. To put it bluntly, they're nuts. They're clinical megalomaniacs. Not to mention Orwellian doublethinkers: I think they honestly believe it when they say that their crimes are "for the good of customers". They're living in a fantasy world that their money and power has created in their heads.

Great post.

Dear Ralf: I read your whole missive. I think it proves, no matter how smart you think big company execs and lawyers are, they put their Pants (or panyhose) on same as you or I and are susceptible to the same human foibles as you or I. I agree with the statement that MSFT's intrangience and willful failure to work out a "deal" is the biggest mistake ever made at MSFT. The shareholders will bear the brunt of the egos involved. Too bad. JDN
