That should read "5% of revenue" if the IDG article in Swedish I read is 
correct.

As the news.com.au article states, the ball is now in the court of 
Microsoft's competitors. One can only speculate as to their input, 
though, as one of the key critics, Nokia, recently struck a major deal 
with MS to have the Redmondians deliver music for the Finnish handsets, 
seemingly forgetting all about the contention. Sounds awfully familiar 
to the Sun case, doesn't it?

1. Bring Bill to court
2. Get sweet deal
3. Profit!!
4. Have amnesia
