Maybe MS's arrogance is finally gonna hurt them. If you p*ss off enough 
people to get a couple of US Senators, maybe it is time to learn from past 
mistakes.

Obviously, never one to learn from the past, MS plods ahead, ignoring common 
sense, good business practices, US law, and logic.  They are proving yet 
again that the only thing that matters to them is the bottom line.
