re: why did they drag their feet so long on integrating 'live' stuff into windows - there was this little outfit called the U.S. government that slapped them with a consent decree that prevented them doing stuff like this.....


That's... not what they got into trouble for.


from someone who had to go through consent decree training; yes it was.

they could not leverage windows use base for a competitive advantage in any other product/service.


No, but it's what the order basically prevented them from doing.

Don't do illegal sh*t and your company won't suffer.
