Microsoft has proven it is above the law. Its lawyer is not giving any
legitimacy to the claim (yesterday), so the woman won't have an easy time,
unless she can afford a lot of lawyer time. Same story in Europe... they get
people 'exhausted' in the courtroom. Remember the Gates deposition where he
wouldn't admit anything for like an hour?
