It really isn't all that surprising, really. Think about it. Bill Gates has all the power... in essence a monopoly. He has business and government in the palm of his hot little hands. Congress will cave... but try not to make it LOOK like they did.

I have spent too long inside the beltway (aka Washington DC) to know how it works. If the cost is too high, they will back off. Hillary's health plan is an excellent example of this: she wanted to provide health care for EVERYONE... but they balked when it came to paying up.

If Microsoft wins this... Bill Gates will become richer.
