Can liability for illegal activity in the production and marketing of Microsoft software leave companies using it at risk? If Microsoft is required to cease trading in some sector of software or to withdraw a product as aresult of EU investigation of their allegedly illegal marketing tactics, could this leave your company with an expensive problem? Best to put off acquiring new MS products, pending resolution of this investgiation, and look carefully at alternatives. -- From one of the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
