What! Not more lawsuits and digs. I am not always a lover of Microsoft software, and sometimes the way they market their products borders on the insane, But come on!, this is now getting a bit out of hand. A lot of these companies would not be around today if it was not for Microsoft and IBM getting their act together in the 70's. Now it appears to be "Lets have a pop at Microsoft" century. I think that it is now time for everyone to sit back and think about their futures. If Bill Gates decides to wind up Microsoft tomorrow and throw all to the wolves. You will find that the market will collapse. Whilst Bill may decide to retire gracefully in a few years time, he would leave the company intact. Keep on chipping away at the foundations, and you will have a very major headache if the structure crumbles. It appears the American trend of sue and counter sue has got a foot hold in every corner of the world thinking it is Easy Money. What next, sueing your neighbour for breathing air in your house or garden??? Scary, but looking closer every day!!
