I am sure you would have seen 30 or 40 US Senators lining up to
testify how bad it would be. I am sure a number of CEO's would do the
same. Its not pretty when you have the most cash in the world will
buy. I am not sure myself (I wasn't old enough when it happened) if
IBM wouldn't have pulled the same stuff though. Probably not as I
don't think they were anywhere close to the big cash as MS is. Its a
different world today.
