[seven2go]

Interesting.........
Now WHY would some nearly invisible company, as in how many folks on the street have heard of them, AFTER taking the payout, not want to license their development to M$ rather than just gloat over the money?.......

lol apparently 40 million of the fine is for the ms lawyers who disobeyed the orders of the court.

so in their appeal, they talked about, in legal terms, how the judge was pretty much a dick.
