Scenario Idea- US vs. Microsoft

[GhostOfDisco]

Here an idea for a scenario, based on the US vs. Microsoft antitrust case. It goes like this: Microsoft, looking like it is about to lose the suit, takes over Washington State and sets up its own government, with Bill Gates as absolute dictator/CEO. The US government quickly responds by sending in the military to the state's borders. Meanwhile, Microsoft has solidified it rule over Washington, created a huge army (called the security force), and turned Redmond into a virtual fortress (as in it's heavily defended like a fortress, not a fortress in virtual reality.) There could be a lot of humor, like Steve Jobs creating a Rough Rider-style band of volunteer militia (the Mac Users?). http://apolyton.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif What does everyone think of this idea? (I put this on the Mac board because there are a ton of Microsoft-haters who use Macs.)
