Some people grabbed copies. I just wish they kept accumulating more and more
and more memos (more evidence later to be used). It's probably why Microsoft
put an end to it. Publicity of the evidence put a lot of pressure on the
convicted monopolist. The disclosed E-mails will do them a lot of damage and
haunt them for years to come.

Take your early retirement, Bill. Just run away. Sooner or later they'll
expose you, hunt you down, and history will have you remembered as you
deserve to be treated -- an unethical child in a sweater, sheltered by
parents who are lawyers/diplomats, as well as an army of corrupt managers.
Even his attempts at 'philantropy' have backfired.
