Good chance, after all IBM beat the DOJ, I hope Bill can too. History
shows the DOJ can't sustain long drawn out proceedings against large,
well-funded companies. In this case attrition works in favor of MS, not
against it. Let's hope Gates hangs tough and keeps the DOJ do-gooders
out of the computer business.

It was thus said that the Great Jack Peacock once stated:
IBM didn't beat the DOJ as much as President Regan dropped the suit in the
early 80s (82 or 83 I think) as part of his ``Smaller Government'' or
``Business Friendly Government'' or something like that. Before that, it
had been going on for 10 years.
