OK, this says they can debar a company, but doesn't require them to do so.

Just looked at your earlier post about Maricopa County rules as well. Those
also don't require debarment :(.

I would presume this means that m$ isn't automagically debarred, rather only
that the gov't now has cause to debar m$ if the gov't so chose. Now we have
to convince them to debar m$ for their illegal activities. That's something
that should've happened more than 10 years ago the first time m$ was on
trial for anti-trust violations. Were they actually convicted that time or
did they plea bargain out of it?
