Microsoft got what it wanted, a school teacher convicted. Now, the Russians will get what they need, affordable software. Yes, the Kopyright Kops won again in court, but they lost in the marketplace. If Microsoft played it smart, they would have seen to it the charges against this teacher were dropped. The Russian people and politicians would have been favorable to buying Microsoft products at an affordable price, and Microsoft would have had access tot he Russian education market. Microsoft would mot have made as much money as it wanted from the Russian school system, but it would have made some money. Now, since Billy Gates decided to not help this school teacher, he has alienated the Russian school system and likely have lost that entire market.
