depends. the court might even say that M$ could have rejected Intel's proposal. As long as there are no pr00fs of intel blackmailing M$, intel may get off

because ignorance is NOT bliss.
To buy an LCD TV, I did 3 weeks of research.
To buy a DVD Player, I did 10 days of research.
To buy a wrist watch I did 4 days of research.
To buy a cricket bat, I did 5 hours of research.
Any purchase needs thought and hard work of the brain. If you are stupid, you die. Its that simple. Only the fittest survive, so Be Fit.

we already know about different problems in M$. But one has to agree, this is a battle involving the top TWO biggest monopolies. It must be intresting, and the lawyers fighting the case will get rich even if they loose the case, and if they win the case, they might as well retire and swim in gold for all eternity

As I said before, research does not hurt. Anything we do must be a pre thought and carefully planned step. There is no ctrl + z in real life. You need to be sure of what you are doing so that you have no regrets later.
