Let's hope the EC will put this under the 'formal investigation' umbrella.
I think that Pugh's letter may have something to do with an E-mail I sent out
some days ago.
All in all, it looks bad for Microsoft. While Fox news (and the likes of it) do
not publish the truth, what's important is that CIOs get passed this
information. They read technology sites and they become well aware of the
truth, regardless of what the public gets told by Murdock and Ilk.
