Hmmm, I really don't think this is a bad thing. As long as Microsoft is
around, they will be hiring programmers. Getting a decent job is never a bad
thing - even if it is a job that involves taking over the world. Better to
be "on the protected lists" than out on the streets. I know there is a
strong feeling of resentment towards Microsoft on this list, but really -
they wouldn't be around it they weren't good at what they do. You don't win
if you're a loser, and it seems like Microsoft always wins......sooner or
later.

night,

mark

Well you can't exactly paste that on to Bush. Let's face it anyone who
really thought M$ was going to get broken up on this deal was very naive. No
matter who was President M$ was never going to get broken up. This is all
about money and the United States government sense some very deep pockets
ripe for the picking. If Bill Gates and buddies had been lacing the palms of
the democratic national committee they would not have even been brought up
on charges.

Since they didn't this is just another way to coerce money from a company
that has a lot of money. M$ will not be broken up, it will be a matter of a
fine and more than likely M$ will settle out of court. With the money that
the company has, any fine they are slapped with will not effect them much.
SO M$ is going to get a slap on the hands and be told not to do it again.
