One of my recent jobs was working for an organization that builds enormous
databases filled with corporate communications which become involved in litigation
in one way or another...including email among other things.
Microsoft's purging of employee emails, if it can be shown beyond a
reasonable doubt to have been a calculated manouver in order to avoid
fines and/or prosectution, could quite easily mean jailtime for the top
ten people in the organization.
That'd be kind of interesting.
You know, no one thought Worldcom would ever implode...and when it happened,
it happened very, very fast.
