"We're not in the mood to be jerked around anymore."

That was how the State Attorney Generals responded to Bill Gates pulling the plug on negotiations Saturday. The thought that some company like Symantec would come up with a GUI that OEMS might prefer over the one made by the great innovative MSFT (you know CTRL-ALT-DEL to logon for NT) was just too much for the boy wonder to contemplate. When his colleagues found him on the floor foaming at the mouth Saturday afternoon he was muttering "We have to have control...."

Sounds like MSFT is about to bring down the market.
