may I remind you that "last year" means: the year the lawsuit was
running ?

several of the statements made by witnesses during the trial clearly
show fear.

do we agree that there IS a limit, somewhere? that, say, M$ putting guns
to the heads of the dell CEO saying "use windoze or we shoot" would have
warranted police/government interference?

if you agree on that, all our differences are about defining where the
line is. if you don't agree on that, you'll have to accept that I
consider you a maniac and/or fanatic.
