Regardless, the first step in the anti-Berezovsky campaign will probably be to undermine his hold on the country's biggest TV network, ORT. Insiders predict that Putin will either cancel ORT's license, which is up for renewal in May, or give its airwaves to the government-controlled RTR network. This will be a blow, and Berezovsky is unlikely to go without a fight. Last year, when then Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov tried to bring Berezovsky up on corruption charges, Yeltsin fired Primakov.

But not everyone got tested, and it was impossible to predict who would suffer a bad reaction.

...what is largely perceived to be a last-ditch effort to avoid Judge Jackson's looming decision - which many predict will be harsh - Microsoft proffered a deal last week that would have separated the company's Internet browser from its Windows operating system. The government rejected the offer, saying it did not go far enough in curbing Microsoft's monopoly control over the technology industry. Of course, says Professor Warren Grimes of Southwestern University Law School in Los Angeles, even if Judge Jackson does rule against Microsoft, that will hardly be the end of the story.
