Microsoft's Long-Playing Business Record
khendron writes "The Globe and Mail has an article which tells it like it is. Microsoft is looking at it constant court costs and anti-trust fines as simply 'the cost of doing business,' and has no intention of changing. A telling quote 'Losing or settling case after case, Microsoft has tested the bounds of antitrust and patent infringement law, with little evidence that its power has waned or that its behaviour has been substantially changed. Rivals and many legal experts say antitrust law itself has come out the worse for the skirmishes, while Microsoft appears to have built the ongoing scrutiny, fines and remedies into a strategy showing scant sign of reform.'"
it is the cost of doing business. any large business puts money aside for this sort of this. anything else sherlock?
did you forget to take your meds?
As long as there are other solutions (Linux, Mac) the whole anti-trust thing is crap. Microsoft has a great product and their stuff is easy to obtain and use. It is unfortunate that until now nobody has made anything that rivals Microsoft's products becuause they would sell better, right?
Good thing you haven't had to sit a spelling test for a while then isn't it. Remember, just because Rupert Murdoch's papers spell it "jail" does not make it so. Rupert just doesn't like the English and loves corrupting its language and bringing down its aristocracy.

Good point. Because I'm a new slashdot registered user, I don't know how America works. Brilliant.
