That is what it is all about. Look at what MS has been doing for the last 4
to 5
years. MS was sue before for doing this, but won the
court in the US but lost over seas. Only this time I think MS has
gone to far and I think the courts will think so to.

I hope this puts the brakes on MS power. I hope they
get broken up or goes bankrupt. Now that would be funny.
