Titanic
We could go back to the Tunny documents on the last US Microsoft case, but lets stay in the now.

When the Cnet reporter's identity was stolen a few months ago it was not just that Patty Dunn was frustrated with leaks from the board of directors at HP. It was also because HP had secrets to protect. The secrets were reveled in congressional testimony and the most interesting one to a US citizen involved a pact between Microsoft, HP and Intel. The pact was to delay the introduction of multi processor PCs and instead concentrate on faster single processors - in particular Itanium, with special anticompetitive price deals being an incentive. Everyone who had benchmarked Java based applications knew that Java was faster than Microsoft -style code. This is reflected in Java's wildly accepted use on mainframe computers which for decades now have used multiprocessors.

The sinking of Itanium came shortly after testimony with every decision maker involved at all three companies abandoning ship and no longer working at their respective companies. Its a big story.

But the press isn't finding this story as interesting as it should be. When you know that 30 percent of the workers on US soil at Microsoft are not US citizens and when you further know that SAP, a partner with Microsoft, was concerned about Americanization of the industry, in fact so concerned that its Silicon Vally star co-president has quit in disgust, and then factor in Patty Dunn's banking directorships, a story of EU economic wrong doing against the US starts developing. Rise American Programmers.
