„While U.S. prosecutors focused largely on the browser market, Europeans have alleged that Microsoft unfairly tied its multimedia software into the Windows operating system and that the company has also made it difficult for rivals' server software to work on Windows-based machines.

„As everyone waits to hear who really is bidding on AT&T Wireless, another story is popping up wondering if Microsoft might come in and make a bid on Disney , now that Comcast has put Disney (involuntarily) in play. While it wouldn't be a surprise if others made offers on Disney, and Microsoft could easily afford them, I don't think Microsoft would dare do such a deal.

„Why did it take so long for Big Media to focus on a story that broke years ago? As the Globe's Robinson explained to Joe Strupp of Editor & Publisher, "Other news organizations are not inclined to credit their competition, particularly if they have done their own look at the candidate." Robinson cited The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times as two examples. "It would have been nice if the Post had mentioned it in 2000," Robinson said.“http://www.newmediamusings.com/blog/2004/02/ bushs_missing_y.html - Cached
