What chills my blood about these lawsuits is their open-endedness. It seems inevitable that this legal process will not stop until the litigators have dug their claws into and painstakingly dragged into the public forum every last shred of paperwork and every insignificant transaction of Microsoft's history. The perfect example is the Ken Starr "independent council" fiasco -- imagine that scenario extended to Microsoft and magnified a thousandfold. Whats so tragic about this is that with a little bit more rationality and a lot less crazed legal showboating I think this could have been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Now we're in for a process that, by its very nature, guarantees no winners. Hopefully its effects will be confined to the courts and the newspapers and won't impact the revenue machine we've all come to love . j
