RE:"They (MSFT) were sued by most of the states, because they were stifling the massive US software business with their unethical business practices" You are so naive sometimes. Microsoft was sued by some states because: 1. They cashed in on the tobacco companies, why not Microsoft. 2. State politicians saw $$ signs 3. Lawyers saw they could cash in on the tobacco settlements were looking for fresh meat. The idea that microsoft somehow harmed those states is a joke. They are just trying to pile on the fereral suits for the bucks. Jim
