Precisely what I hear from my Intel buddies. Just the little leaked out already provides enough smoking gun that suggest MSFT will go down on the DOJ action. It will take a long time, but it will happen. I think MSFT knows they are on the wrong side of the case, but figure they can pull an IBM, just stall out the case for so long that it will not matter in the long run.

>>>M31, " Intel's Andy Grove, though not averse to the occasional act of brutality, realised more than 12 years ago that his company was heading for dominance and would consequently need to watch its act. Everyone at Intel who has dealings with other companies is schooled in antitrust law." We all see what all that schooling has done for INTEL, they are being sued again next week. The moral of the story, if you are a successful company, no amount of prevention will do you any good. Microsoft should establish a division for "Campaign Contribution", covering both parties, in the long run, it may be cheaper than paying lawyers, not much cheaper but less traumatic.
