Bill Just Can't Seem to Help Himself

IT LOOKS LIKE the Bully of Redmond is back. Then again, maybe he never really went away.

This week, Microsoft's (MSFT) chairman and founder Bill Gates made it abundantly clear to anyone paying attention that the world's biggest software manufacturer won't roll over in its struggle with government antitrust lawyers.
