Excellent, if true. It would have emptied Microsoft's safe, but there are
other barriers to consider. For example, Microsoft gives Google a hard time
acquiring a company for just $3.1 billion. Would a convicted monopoly's
attempt to absorb a large competitor pass the approval of the US government?
Well, maybe as long as they do it quickly (before the 2008 elections).
