I think lenience/negligence is Goo-tube sweet _and_ soft spot. But I can't
help but feel that Microsoft is once again part of the driving forces behind
those lawsuits. Remember how much they fear Google and how they pointed
their finger at Google last week saying "hey! that company... see it? It's
evil. You should sue it". But wait a second...
Is Microsoft in a position to call other companies unethical?
