blufiveThis article alleges that at least one large US software retailer will shortly cease stocking software and hardware that doesn't have Microsoft's seal of approval.
Anyone suspect that MS is going to be leaning on other retailers too, as suggested in the article? Though presumably after the DOJ case, they won't punish retailers who don't co-operate (excuse me for being sceptical).
