However, the US DOJ hasn't been especially tough with M$ after their latest
delivery of a well-earned slap on the wrist. It takes a lot of cash to help
elected American officials make the "correct" choices.    :)

IMO, M$ did the Novell Bogopatent Axis Nonagression Pact to deliver threats
like this without skirting too close to the antitrust tarpit. It also makes
for great M$ propaganda about "cooperation" with FOSS developers.

If you want to see the M$ FUD Master pros in action recently, check it out:
