Remember the 2001 antitrust lawsuit where the U.S. government accused Microsoft of illegally monopolizing the web browser market for Windows, primarily through the legal and technical restrictions it put on the abilities of PC manufacturers (OEMs) and users to uninstall Internet Explorer and use other programs such as Netscape and Java?

Looks like Microslop is on their way to make Robert X. Cringely’s words a reality: After the 2002 settlement, industry pundit Robert X. Cringely believed a breakup was not possible, and that “now the only way Microsoft can die is by suicide.”

Vore fans are surely in a collective rejoicing about now
