That's what I'm referring to. The potential losses if the court found M$ guilty of a monopoly would have been absolutely astronomical.
Hell, there were rumors about M$ moving 150 miles north into Canada if that happened.
Also at the time was the Corel/Novell back and forth with their java-based Office client. Mac Office helped solidify a monopoly within a monopoly.
