| China and has won elsewhere is that Microsoft is willing to break the law,
| pay the fines, dump products on the market at far below cost, and continue on
| in the belief that in the long run the costs of doing business the Microsoft
| way will win out over the higher quality, security and features of Mac OS X
| and the Linux desktop.
