jimleon,re:"What would msft do...". Options are:

1. Replace Janet Reno with the guy(?) in Saturaday Night Live.

2. Charge $10/License/software and use the money to pay the PAC.
DOJ(actually the US government or the world) will be shut down if
they don't pay. This is even easier to implement with the Net/IE.

That will teach those DOJ or whoever don't want to pay.

The more I think about it, the more I believe MSFT should charging
annual license fee starting with win98. My MSFT share will go thru
the SKY. The potential is so HUGE... I smell money.

BTW, why is MSFT losing altitude today.

"What would msft do .."

I am wondering what the price of the stock would do if DOJ issued a restraining order preventing Windows 98 from shipping on time. Do you think this is a likely outcome?
