Legal fights with companies sitting on the kind of cash MS has is a
nearly impossible battle to win, unless you can match them. So this has
nothing to do with facts and more to do with bullying.

As one who studies laws, and the abuse of political power, I wouldn't worry about this; there is absolutely nothing MS can do - it's just a mere scare tactic.

Richard, please do not see this as a personal criticism, but if that was indeed the case, then would not the legal departments of the affected companies (especially Oracle, who most likely has a legal war machine easily on par with MS) have dismissed it rather than letting the company succumb to the demands?
