A Microsoft lawyer on the Sun Java lawsuit actually said with a straight face
that the lawsuit should be dismissed, because if Sun were to prevail, the
resulting retooling that Microsoft would have to do to comply would cause the
ship date of the next Windows release to slip, and that would have a measurable
impact on the GNP.

Personally, I think if your software is *so* critical that a ship date slip
can hit the GNP, you're in need of *more* oversight and regulation... ;)
