I tried to imagine the effort it must have taken for the M$ negotiators to keep a straight, somber face until they were in private, trying to look beaten and properly chastised -- followed by their private ticker-tape parade and Mardi Gras-like celebration that the deal was actually agreed to (though not yet approved, but who has any serious doubt?) Boy, I guess THAT'll teach those guys... "Bad company! Bad! Don't do that again or else we'll have to actually enshrine your practices as international law!" Yeah, they must be really scared now, I bet.
