It is not about the crap, WMP. Why do you think they chose to use such a meaningless piece of crap media player to focus their case on? It's kinda like sending Capone to jail for tax evasion. The method isn't so important as the result. He still went to jail.

No, you MS shills simply don't see the significance of this. The rest of us do. It is about establishing case law and precedent.

In the future it will be much easier to rein in MS. Prosecutors will now have a case to cite.

Judges love precedent. Common law is based on it.

Now they can go after MS for the real criminal behavior.

Fine was not nearly enough though.
