...decided in August that Brown's journal entries did not constitute a threat, he also found that Brown had made threatening remarks, such as a promise to "mess with" the Class of '99.

The suit brought by the government seems to have been less about the power and influence of Microsoft and more about reprimanding those who have acquired too much, too easily and too quickly.
