Subject: Windows essential to survival

You all remember the blackberry case: Justice Department was going to intervene to delay implementation of any judgment.

You will have a similar situation if Microsoft is ever under attack. Imagine Windows not being there. Imagine hundreds of millions of people recompiling their kernels just because the Finnish fool and his gang don't like some trivial thing and want to introduce a gratuituous change. Not going to happen. OS/2? Apple? Things will still take years.

I wonder why the Justice Department suddenly backed away from its plans of punishing Microsoft. We will never know for sure, but we can be sure of one thing: Microsoft is a *very* powerful company. No harm will ever come to Windows. (Lamex, on the other hand, is touch and go!)
