Cringley and the ADM theory for M$. ADM is a giant food manufacturing company that every so often is hit with a couple of million dollar fine for non-compliance with pollution emission standards. Of course they save many more millions by not complying with those standards than they are ever fined, so why comply? Microsoft runs its DOJ antitrust compliance the same way. Why worry about a 1 billion fine if you can make 5 billion not complying and just pay the fine?
