Just what Laff said, Axey.
If you think that $500+ million is a BIG deal in this whole argument, you're further off base than even I thought you were.

What was that $400+ million that MS just laughed off over in Europe? I mean, these guys are so flush that they can say "Okay, we'll pay the fine and get back to ya later about fighting it!"

Quit pretending your income level is down here with all us working stiffs, Axey, we know better.
