Does anybody see the complete and utter irony in this situation? Microsoft was sued because they were overcharging consumers. Microsoft's answer to the lawsuit is to charge people more. If this does not smack of complete and utter disregard for the law, then I'm a blue ape.
In a world where anti-trust laws were actually enforced, Microsoft should, and would be smacked with a punishment for this so fast their head would spin. The fact of the matter is that because of the Justice Department's suit against them, they are supposed to be watched to make sure they conform to the law. I sincerely doubt they are actually being observed in fact, or they wouldn't have the guts to say this.
In the least, this should give class action lawyers a field day. Anybody for more lawsuits against MS? Anybody?
