Possibly. But the scenario I see is that we are nibbling M$ to death like
ducks, and that to remain salient, M$ will, as Linus has said, be forced
to change their business colors a bit. While the current shift seems
rather miniscule, it does appear to be in the right direction. Whether
it will presage a new era in Redmond remains to be seen.
The trigger for your version would almost have to be the result of a court
verdict that swung the balance of power away from M$ in one swell foop.
Even then I suspect it would only be considered as a possible course of
action by those who've been drinking the M$ supplied koolaid too long and
their resultant IQ has gone into the toilet. What percentage of those
there would be in the legal dept I leave for a M$ student exercise. :-)
