	Bush just hired the former Microsoft head of security to be his 
"go-to" man for creating an infrastructure to protect the security of 
US computer assets.

	Do you really think that they will ever again lift a hand against 
Microsoft?  They only participated in the anti-trust action brought 
by the Clinton white house because they had no choice -- their 
pulling out of the case would have been far worse than continuing to 
a settlement that resulted in less than a wrist-slap.


        And it didn't even take Billy-boy a billion to buy the US gov't.
