<Regimond, you must admit that the Special Master has got to be poison to them. > Your right about the Lessig guy. BBUUTT, the industry will not let him go but so far. You as a trained attorney know taht this is not contrained to the MSFT case. If the judge accepts a rogue recommendation from teh master adn rules accordingly, precedence is set, for everybody, not just the evil empire. No one in the industry wants the government to be able to design software in the private sector, even the NOISE. If it hurts MSFT, it hurts the industry, therefore from a relative U.S perspective MSFT is really not that much worse off. Remember, what is being argued does not directly affect one single cent of MSFT revenue, cash , or profit near or medium term. If anybody is going to lose from a relative standpoint, it would be teh US software industry as comopared to the industry abroad. That is why I REALLY think the DOJ should attack this from a different perspective.
