Microsoft is playing the game wrong. Just give a little, get allot.

Bill gates seems to be going at it alone. His approach is that of a computer programmer, not as a business man that is used to dealing with the government. You have to make the small gov. people of authority feel important, just like an employee makes his supervisor feel important.

Gov. people of authority have complexes, they need to feel strong, they need to prove action. It makes them feel really good inside when they can push around the giant. Probably half of the government old timers don't even know how to operate a computer or this anti trust action would be moot.

MSFT should just agree to split the browser and move on. We all know that after a couple of mouse clicks in the settings screen,it's gone.

RE: "You see, Big Brother doesn't care what we serfs believe because they know what we need better than we do."

Clarification:
By suggesting that your statement might be better put by making "Big Brother" into "Big Brothers" I mean to say that both the DOJ and MS are evil by nature of their both being Big Brothers.

One is a Necessary Evil, the other an Evil Necessity. Your choice.
