I think the reason this is news is because Microsoft doesn’t compete, they anti-compete. They are famous for it, and they’ve been convicted of it.

So they aren’t sitting there at their Screw Google meeting saying “let’s make a free version of Windows with just an HTML 5 browser so that Chrome OS doesn’t get any traction in the market,” they’re saying, “how can we improve our anti-competitive deals with PC makers so that it’s even harder if not impossible for them to ship Chrome OS systems?”

> Please. This is business
> is usual.

It’s probably Microsoft business as usual, but not business as usual.

I mean, even the name of the meeting, “Screw Google” just fits their juvenile attitude. They have never had to compete because they were essentially given the DOS monopoly and they illegally turned that into a Windows monopoly. So when they get together to “strategize to thwart a rival” they write “Screw Google” on a whiteboard and figure out how they can put sugar in the Google gas tank.

They should be writing “Save Microsoft” on the whiteboard and working that topic through for a while.
