I don't think payoffs are really part of the story, but certainly strong political forces are. Bush has always stated that the Microsoft anti-trust case is over blown by the US AG office. Now that you have some very conservative Republicans in office, it makes sense that the US AG's office would back off. Besides, heavy contributions to your favorite party has always been a sanctioned form of payoff... ;-) -ronc On Tuesday 12 June 2001 07:40, you wrote:
