Whatever happened to that Microsoft AntiTrust case?

This guy has done the world a huge service. Hopefully a site will crop up around this like the GrokLaw website did for the SCO case. This seems to be the "behind the scenes" reasons for the wimpering dismissal of the Microsoft AntiTrust case, where again it's proven, with enough money anyone can get away with anything in the "American Justice System." I'm glad I was not the only one who noticed the gross misdirection of this trial. Didn't anyone notice how the "corrective" measures taken had nothing to do with anticompetitive business practices and instead focused on the stupid browser attached to the operating system. That's a slight-of-hand of Houdini proportions.

-- Franklin D. Roosevelt, Message proposing the "Standard Oil" Monopoly Investigation, 1938

it up. This works especially well with people with whom you have
little personal contact or who are extremely sensitive.

Let the Re-Education begin...

This looks interesting. Ahhh, the good old days, when it was okay to examine your own conscience for the answers to questions about love and sex and spirituality. My favorite quote, "I think God wants you to question, " she says, "to do more than just blindly be a follower, because he can't use blind followers." Well said. Thanks to Neil for pointing this out.
