I wonder what they had about IBM.

It's a constant mystery to me and anyone who is familiar with the history,
why IBM hasn't sued Microsoft for triple damages.  There is plenty of reason
for IBM to pravail - it's all there in the Findings of Fact.

I believe that the only reason IBM hasn't sued MS is because IBM *conspired*
with MS to restrict the PC Operating System market.

I also believe Gerstner took some kind of a bribe to do this.
