I'll see if my attornies for the 200 million Daytona Prototype case are
interested in your 100 Billion situation.

Thanks Yogi.
Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
I'm just guessing here. Would this have anything to do with the
fact that Microsoft only leases the operating system and doesn't
sell it to the consumer? That makes them sole owner of the operating
system which may give them certain liberties. I'm sure they'll just
say "Use a different operating system if you don't like it". Not that
it makes it right. I would venture a guess that they have some pretty
smart lawyers who have already addressed the issue.
God knows they can afford them.
