"Predatory Prosecution" ?

The May 3 edition of Forbes (with Intel on the cover) has an interesting article by Thomas Sowell on the DOJ/MSFT antitrust suit.

"It is a commentary on the development of antitrust law that the accused must defend himself, not against actual evidence of wrongdoing, but against a theory which predicts wrongdoing in the future. It is the civil equivalent of "preventive detention" in criminal cases—punishment without proof."

Worth reading.

Here's the answer. It comes from the white paper on the page I pointed to:

"Microsoft® SQL Server and the Sybase database were developed together until their respective 4.2 versions. This similarity provides for a unique, low-cost opportunity for Sybase customers to migrate to Microsoft SQL Server and benefit from the new functionality of Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0."
