What a coincidence... today I got my AnchorDesk News Berst.... Headline
story....


    "World's Dumbest Lawyers Find Work at Microsoft. Foolish
    Agreements Have People Talking Anti-Trust Again 

    Just when the Microsoft-is-the-Evil-Empire stories were starting to
die down,
    the Redmond company assigned some clueless lawyers to draft
sensitive
    agreements. One apparently tells users they aren't allowed to use
another
    operating system. Another forces hardware makers to advertise
Microsoft.
    Users are up in arms and rivals are talking anti-trust again.
There's more at the
    Web site. *Warning*: If you're offended by lawyer jokes, don't even
come by."

Since when have the 'Microsoft-is-the-Evil-Empire' stories died down?
