The DoJ looks the other way because our government just swung to the opposite
extreme last year. We went from a socialist, anti-capitalist regime to a
ultra-business-friendly capitalist regime. The little guy isn't going to
catch a break under either. :-P I say we all start gene-splicing in our
backyards, and clone some of our founding fathers. Maybe they can stop the
madness. . .

I don't think it's that simple. I know all too many MS cheerleaders -- people
who have been hoodwinked into thinking that being hacked and rebooting daily
is *normal*, and hence, not MS' fault. I swear, the marketing dept. at MS
must be half-staffed with vampires. They're always working on some new angle.
