A month ago I made the same comment, sorta.

I've got a friend who worked for AT&T maybe 20 years ago until fairly 
recently.  When the Govt. went after them they sent 5 trainlosads of 
"paper" to 'em.  While the individual jerks at M$ have money, I bet the 
pockets of IBM are deeper than the M$ company's.  Microsloth may, even, 
have to sell or make more stock to sell to keep this thing alive.  As 
someone said "follow the money" if it's worth it, IBM has the money. 
Money buys attorneys.  Let's all hope IBM stays with it.  I'm old and 
wise enough to realize right doesn't always win!
