Recent M$ moves in Israel
I don't have any news about the M$ monopoly investigation in Israel. Mr.
Tadmor is doing a great job, but unfortunately (for our cause) he's busy
fighting local monopolies such as soft drinks, cement, etc.
Some recent news about M$ and Israel or Israeli companies, and the Ballmer
visit (from Globes):
M$ blackmailing mirabilis:

M$ threatening Checkpoint

M$ sucking VDONet dry

(Also some general coverage on the recent Ballmer visit)
M$ moves to monopolize Internet surfing platform in Israel/Hebrew
http://www.globes.co.il/cgi-bin/Serve_Arena/pages/English/1.3.2.9
(This also includes connecting many government databases and services
online using M$ software. As M$ uses an incompatible standard for
Hebrew encoding, any citizen wishing to access online government
sites will have to use 95 and IE.)

Ariel
