>And everything you say about lawsuits and contracts concerning
Microsoft taking some individual or School to court is speculation.

Read the EULA's that Microsoft has _very_ carefully.
Read the licenses that Microsoft has made public very carefully;
Pay attention to the clauses that have changed in the publicly
available licenses.   Some of those clauses are very interesting in
their legal implications.

Pay attention to who enforces Microsoft's licenses.
And how those licenses are enforced.

>The government of whatever school it might be would not tolerate MS
bringing such a law suit.

a)  Alexander Polonov would have been happy to explain the folly of
that belief.

b) Lawsuit by proxy is how Microsoft will do things.  In this
instance, getting the BSA in the US, and similar organizations in
other countries to file the lawsuits.

>When are you going to stop fearing those lawsuits that aren't going to happen?

The only question is who gets sued.  It isn't a case of _If_, or even
_when_. The only issue is who the targets will be.
