There is a reason they have no fear.. 2006-10-28

There is a very good reason they have no fear:

They have a dual monopoly, both on the OS and on the office file formats. Thus the cost to shift away really is prohibitive/impossible, because of the need to interact with old documents and others.

Additionally, the Justice Department caved with a massive Seattlement. So they have learned something from all their travails. They have learned they can get away with it!
