Shit. Microsoft beat the US government in an open and shut monopoly case. They got away with absolutely zero punishment and zero change in behavior. Campaign contributions can win any legal battle.
People don't go after big business because it's "cool." People go after big business because it's visible. It gets their message across to more people. Big business is also a target because any change in business practices has a wide effect. If McDonalds increases their food safety standards, the change has a real effect on national food safety because of McD's sheer mass. In addition, other fast food chains will follow suit to avoid bad publicity. Going after McDonalds isn't "cool." It's effective.

Heh. Microsoft owns Virtual PC now. The last Microsoft operating system VMWare will be able to support is Windows 2003 Server.
