Really?
$66 million a month. Ok, times 12 = about $800-900 million PER YEAR. That's less than a billion dollars. Do you even know how much Microsoft makes in a year?

Don't spread FUD.

This isn't even 2% of their total revenue and it's only 4% of their profit.

Granted, it's a lot of money and it definitely hurts Microsoft, but let's be realistic, they can easily afford this.

Although I do agree that this should be resolved as soon as possible. But it should be solved with a compromise on both sides.
