Bush just hired the former Microsoft head of security to be his
"go-to" man for creating an infrastructure to protect the security of
US computer assets.
Do you really think that they will ever again lift a hand against
Microsoft? They only participated in the anti-trust action brought
by the Clinton white house because they had no choice -- their
pulling out of the case would have been far worse than continuing to
a settlement that resulted in less than a wrist-slap.
And it didn't even take Billy-boy a billion to buy the US gov't.
