  It isn't *this* administration, it's been *ALL* the administrations that 
have turned blind eye*s* on M$' greedy, monopolistic, and unscrupulous 
tactics and business practices. M$ has been "bribing" almost since day one, 
so don't go blaming any one administration. Clinton had *two* terms and left 
one of the biggest messes this country has ever had to clean up. There, I got 
to put in my little political beliefs. pbtpbtpbtpbtpbt!!!
